Popular music can act as a first step to exploring and developing a sense of collective identity. Music somehow captures memories and wraps them in the cultural sound of your time, always there, in storage, and ready to come back in a flash, triggered by a few musical notes.

The Time Machine sculpture uses these audio triggers to capture and share collective memories of space and time. Constructed from an old jukebox, the sculpture holds a selection of community memories evoked by 50 songs on vinyl. Select a memory from the panel to hear the song that triggered that memory.
