NOTE
I remember as a kid wondering if I died I wouldn’t get any afterlife, but more of a stats display of all of the details of my life. Or if that kind of information is just completely lost in the noise of existence, never to be found again.
Off the top of my head data sets that I would be interested in and comments
- All the things I repeated in my life, with someone new, just to see it again through their eyes or share it
- A list of all objects I’ve used as makeshift bookmarks, sorted by frequency
- The data set of all children chalk drawings done on blacktop through the years
- idea: All of these chalk drawing wash in the rain, and drain into the sewer system. They leak into the earth, coloring the interior of the earth multicolored and swirled. Eventually this magic reaches a critical point of accumulation, where it is reanimated into something that lurks in the bowels of this earth.
- All photographs kept in a wallet, or on a desk
- Every single pair of shoes I’ve worn in my entire life, from being a baby to an adult.
- I wonder if this would be possible through photographs. It might be a worthy exercise next time I get the album out.
- As an adult I have much more shoes, that I use less frequently. I purchase these myself, generally online, so I could access most of this information digitally.
- As a child I would wear out the same shoes and keep them a long time so they would appear in multiple photographs. I was also photographed more as a child.
- Every single person I’ve ever spoken to
- I wonder the magnitude of this number. As far as quantity of dialog between people, it’s clear that this belongs to a smaller group (though I have had podcasts, the reach is limited). But tracking down individual people, say in the case where I’ve gone to the store in some random country and purchased a drink - this is difficult.
- Every person who has been in my dreams
- This is tough because I’ll often have dreams of unknown people, or people who feel like people I know but aren’t.
- It does seem fairly possible, though some of this memory is lost on waking.
- Every person who has dreamt of me
- This seems impossible to attain. It has me wondering which would be more difficult to get the dataset for - people who dreamed of me, or people I have dreamt of.
- The reason is that I don’t believe many people have dreamt of me.
- It would be fascinating to find someone I never encountered in real life on this list if I had it. Like if some elderly woman in Malaysia randomly dreamt of me.
- The most amount of leaves that have ever been in my field of view at once and accompanying visual cortex dump
- Sometimes in Summer, I’ll look up when I am deep in forest and wonder this.
- I remember studying at college, and it was fall and I looked out the window from the top floor of the building at all of trees going on for miles. It’s a vivid memory for me, even though I state it plainly here.
- The most amount of stars I have ever had in my field of view at once and accompanying visual cortex dump
- This might be at the rainforest at night and looking up.
This might exist at the very end or beginning of my consciousness.
- Snapshot of myself every time someone with a crush on me looked at me
- ∅
- Every time I’ve cried during a film
- I keep track of every film I watch, so I could probably review that list and think on which ones moved me
- If I really were interested in this datasets I could begin this record.
- Every time I’ve stifled a laugh
- These are the best laughs
- Every word I’ve looked up and then forgot the definition of
- Every time I’ve
- Every place I’ve left my phone
- Things that I’ve purchased and accidentally thrown out
- Occasionally I’ll purchase something online and I’ve wondered if I’ve not checked the package thoroughly enough and am throwing something out.
- Surely at some time something has fallen into a garbage bin and accidentally been tossed
- How much money I’ve spent on books in my life
- This might be possible by examining my current library
- In studies I’ve probably spent a lot and simply sold them, which would be a considerable chunk with no record since they were done at campus stores.
- All security camera footage I’ve been filmed on
- Likely impossible with how these roll over or are unarchived
- There is an option for seeing how far back I can go. 24 hour is probably doable. A week, perhaps also possible.
- Where people sleep in a house
- I am curious if anyone has a front door that opens to a bedroom. How strange would that be? You open the front door and you are in someone’s study. You walk past someone’s bed. There is no reason this shouldn’t be possible, besides the fact it is completely bizarre.
- How far from actual time every clock is
- The names of all my friends computers
- Even the hostnames list on the work network
- Every password/handle I’ve used
- This isn’t doable with strong passwords but in the early years might provide some insight
- Instances of own goals
- also, instances where a basketball enters the hoop backwards - as in under the hoop.
- All things that made sense to me but now I’ve lost the context for
- How close an arbitrary person is to crying
- Percentage of media I consume that was created in the year I consume it
- Breakdown of yearly movie watches by decade
- I can get this data from imdb logs
- All the scribbles that were done to test if a pen works
- the length of the scribbles before producing a flow of ink
- The degree of fracture most cracked cell phone screens still being used
- There must be someone, somewhere operating with a dead display.
- All photos you are in the background of accidentally.
- Percentage of books read in a home and those unread
- How many books I’ll die without reading that I own.
- Things eaten off the floor.
- All the songs I’ve forgotten.
- The playlist of every single song I’ve heard from birth
- Lullabies, Store music, concerts and the period where I made my own decisions on what moved me.
- When viewed from death to the beginning of my life. What if I had access to this playlist? If I listened to tracks on it they’d refer to the playlist itself. Can I lengthen my life through listening to the playlist of my life?
- Points in a film where I thought the film was over
- You can get a sense of a film ending before you actually know it is over
- All of the verbs I perform in a day (reduced vocab set).
- With Dance Notation, Orchésographie, in my head, I am curious of an apparatus that would continuously register my movements within the day (ignoring the environment, and focusing only as me - as some T-posed avatar).
- So at the end of the day you’d see things like ”laying - horizontal”
- Almost like the automatic sound tagging task, where sounds are registered (water splashing/crowd cheering/clapping) through audio analysis.
- Every object ([[The Flexible Lyric Essays by Ellen Bryant Voigt#|noun]]) I interact with over the course of year
- Automatic Sound Tagging Data for a day
- mentioned above
- My first to-do list
- all incompleted to-dos
