Nostos

An interactive installation that encourages exchanging stories

Nostos is a theme used in Ancient Greek literature which includes an epic hero returning home.

Concept

The Postbox and the Postcard have long been the medium of exchange for stories and anecdotes. With the advent of Social Media and Instant Messaging, the speed and quantity of what we share has drastically increased with a drop in the personal nature of story telling. This project is an attempt at facilitating bonding over stories, for alumni from batches separated in time but united in space.

Using the act of writing a memory from your time at IDC on a postcard, we hope to make you reflect on your time here and leave behind a story for someone to take away.
