In collectiblr (2021), Vidya Giri reflects on what makes objects collectible and worth remembering “with consideration of the presumed permanence of data and the contrasting ephemerality of attention in the internet age.” The viewer/user is taken on a journey that combines the nostalgia of collectible objects, observations, and memories in a three dimensional and virtual space. The work transports these physical forms into the digital, confronting viewers with thoughts on physicality, materialism, and memories.
