As part of a research project entitled ‘Creating Future Memories’ at Aarhus University a group of individuals blurring the boundaries between art, academics, and activism got together and participated in Counterplay 2016 at DOK1. Without any prior knowledge of the group-composition or possible aims for the experimental workshop we lunged into a process of devising both an interactive exhibition and an installation which explored the ‘big data’ citizens regularly produce in their everyday lives and how this data might be archived, packaged, and recycled - or even forgotten, primarily within social media. We wanted to explore what our daily routines connected to social media and sorting our data meant for the way we shape our memories, and therefore the traces of future memories. In this chapter we follow the trajectory of the exhibition entitled ‘MoRM’ (Museum of Random Memories).
