How can an object absorb memories and stories, and how can it then communicate those same memories and stories?

 

Absorb focuses on the dinning table, the hub of most households, a hive of activity and a cache of rich information.

 

A skin was created from a new breed of sensory fabrics that have the ability to read and record pressure and stretch. This skin is used to record the information for any amount of time, that is completely up to the user it may be six weeks it may be six years but that information, where dad places his cup of coffee every morning before work, the game of snap you played with your little sister, it will begin to tell a story and it will prompt memories.

 

When the user chooses, this information is used to CNC machine a tabletop, embedded within it the stories and memories manifested as visual, tangible entities.
