Forgotten Memories of Hanoi

Forgotten Memories of Hanoi is the first piece of a new series, exploring the concept of recording memories with volumetric capture and bringing them back to life with real-time graphic shaders and generative algorithms.

In 2020, I spent weeks exploring the narrow alleys and busy shops of Hanoi. I documented the hectic daily life with 3D scans and audio recordings. With point-cloud data, I captured a bustling city, frozen in a slice of time.

This brief encounter in a street market is a memory now long gone. But in this set of 3D data, it will be preserved forever, encased in digital amber.
