A.T.M. Archive The Memory
A public vault for the life-stories that make us who we are.
Story-sharing is an ancient art form. It heals individual trauma and strengthens community bonds. ATM is a series of story-sharing workshops to collect, archive, and amplify queer stories, facilitated by an AI version of the artist-engineer Cheng XU. Through these true stories, we invite the public to question inherited norms around gender and sexuality, building empathy across difference.
A.T.M. started in 2023 and has since received support from CMAC, Goethe-Institut, Mozilla Foundation, and openAI Foundation. Workshops have been held at CMAC (The Chinatown Media and Arts Collaborative), Gray Area, tiat (the intersection of art and technology), and OUT museum.
