Pajaro’s Floods: A Living Archive is an interactive webXR experience and collective storytelling endeavor. The Living Archive investigates flood-related impacts from a local perspective, sifting through the layers of memories of the communities that have lived in the Pajaro Valley and their relationship with the wildlife and land around them.
Created with tools including LiDAR sensing, photogrammetry, GiS data, audio interviews and community archives, the Living Archive is a multisensory repository of memories of a space and its flood based on top of point cloud representations of the land. The Living Archive collective map and toolkit creates an open space to continue the layered story and serves as a template for future models of climate representation.
