blown up version is still in the scale of the hands
standing at the site of the upcoming exhibit's physical space
We blew up the pin-hole size version of the ‘memory card’ to announce the upcoming exhibit and date of remembrance coming up in one week, on September 11.
Held by Lauren Mitchell on US Airways flight 3382
Here is one of our memory cards early on in their development, shown flying high over the atlantic coast. Conversation and collective remembrance brought out by this little piece of paper, in this charged space was quite significant for myself and those seated next to me on US Airways flight 3382.

Beautiful!! “memory cards” are lighting a nationwide constellation when held up to the light! New York City, Asheville, Black Mountain, Charleston, Greenville… now off to Washington D.C., San Francisco and Portland! And in Texas a new fresh stash is being printed!! Then off to Boston and Tucson. Thanks to ALL of our ambassadors for sharing the cards and initiating moments of remembrance!
Let us know if you want to be an ambassador and disperse a memory, a light. If you would like to share 10 cards with 10 people and photograph them beautifully in one of the not yet represented states, send us a note

Take a quick tour of the fabrication of the Dispersed Memorial cards! Before being dispersed throughout the nation, these cards were printed and laser cut in Charleston, SC. Each card contains hundreds of pixels cut to express the constellation like quality of the NYC 9/11 memorial. Find out more at http://dispersed-memorial.net
