A number of research anchors* has sparked different possible ways data can be experimented with and presented unconventionally.
Memory Metadata - Livia Foldes (2019)
Memory Metadata is a project where Foldes reflects on points of her life through the analysis of pixels in personal photos. She investigates the idea of looking into her life from a digital standpoint and branches out in an attempt to spark conversations surrounding ethical concerns regarding AI.
This anchor was a significant influence on the process and idea behind LOVE.LANGUAGE, where photo analysis was conducted to explore how love can be communicated digitally.

Tech and me: an autoethnographic account of digital literacy as an identity performance - Daniel Clark (2020)
In this paper, Clark investigates changes in his identity by conducting autoethnographic research on blog posts he has written over 8 years.
This article explored the concept of change over time, which has become a significant driving force in my project. His autoethnographic methodology involving reviewing his past posts on social media also served as a significant influence towards the processes used in my experiments, specifically, HAPPY.BIRTHDAY.

Code {poems} - Ishac Bertran (2012)
Code {poems} is a book which involves collaboration with artists and software engineers to explore code written in the form of a narrative by combining it with human language, where its message is up to the readers’ interpretation.
This publication explores how the combination of machine and human language can bring about new reading experiences. In my project, I drew from this concept to bring about a unique and compelling way to convey my personal reflections. At the same time, writing under the influence of code language allows for a non-invasive way
to express my thoughts and bring it out to the world to tell.
Below is an overview map showcasing the influence from research anchors for each experiment.
