SUBMISSION: Space Data Souvenir (SDS)

How would space tourism look like in the future? Would space (millionaire) tourists keep buying souvenirs as memories of their trip?

My definition of “souvenir”: is the immortalization of one’s once-in-a-lifetime experience, the physicalization of something invisible, unnoticeable to the human eye, a scientific photograph of one’s body as a machine. Do we need the preservation of more than one’s consciousness? 

Throughout this project, I question the future of souvenirs in general, by transforming a record of my own body reactions expressed through three body senses (pulse, humidity & temperature), during a three-minutes period – into a physical, tangible, valuable object
