In this article, the relationship between the development of digital media and memory,community, and urban spaces is discussed. It is based on a project sponsored by the European Commissioni3 and was developed by a consortium of five partners between 1997 and 2000. The project’s name is Living Memory (LiMe), which is a communication system prototype. LiMe aims to provide members of a locality with means to capture, share, and explore their collective memory and experiences and is an intelligent network of interfaces embedded within the physical fabric of the local community, supporting the creation and distribution of informal content within that community. LiMe interfaces are in natural meeting and crossing points, such as cafes and bus stops. People do not have to sit behind computers to create and find information but come across local knowledge incidentally and peripherally in everyday locations. LiMe is about discovering, expressing, and getting out in the local physical neighborhood.
