<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper presents an artistic research project aimed at digitally archiving and preserving the memories of Kajang's old town through the lens of participatory art and technology. Through collaboration with students from a local university, the project engaged participants in the recreation of specific buildings within the old town, driven by their personal connections and nostalgic reflections. Participatory observation is used as the methodology to gain diverse perspectives and motivations while the memories provide insights into the significance of each chosen building through exploration of Kajang's cultural identity. Using 3D modelling method, participants built and contribute digital 3D models of the building and completed models are made available for viewing worldwide by offering the public access to the virtual reconstruction through an immersive digital platform. This paper describes the process of digital reconstruction and significance of participatory art in preserving and celebrating the collective memory of a community. It underscores the potential of interdisciplinary efforts, and it aspires to be an example where participatory art challenges dominant narratives through the creation of alternative realities.</p>
