Google, thank you for helping me remember my childhood. April 2008 is a desktop documentary that evokes the artist’s childhood memories through the window of Google Street View, a tool that has become both a mechanical archive and a mapping of our lives. Traversing digitally through her childhood street captured by the Google Car in 2008, she discovers fragments of abandoned memories, halfway between nostalgic exploration and critical investigation, revealing the fragility of a digital memory subject to algorithmic vagaries. But where are these memories stored? This critical documentary reveals the contours of a dematerialized memory, destined to escape from the vapors of distant data centers.
