Pool of Memory (concept | by Battarbee et al, 2002)

The Pool of Memory is a visual community messaging system that allows input from several, even remote, locations and output to a central place and the remote input locations. The visual messages are short videoclips containing sound. The short audiovisual messages are played in order of creation. To allow people to construct sequences of narrative, new messages can be connected to previous ones, creating chains of messages. Recording a message takes place in front of a small panel mounted in a public place.
