Inspired by the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I set out to create a cardboard machine that could accomplish the impossible task of erasing memories. It took the shape of a tape player, accompanied by several cardboard cassette tapes I enhanced with brown ink. (This was the first time I’ve embellished my cardboard machines, and I think it brought my idea further.) In order to operate it, you must record your memory in your own words, rewind, and press the MEMORY OBLITERATOR button. Though it seems like an easy way out, in order to erase a memory, you must first confront it.
