Emerging Realities

Digital Afterlife

Name: Digital Remnants

Item Two: Concept Planning

Created: 2021

Current State: Pitch Presentation Complete

About: Our group pesents the visual, technical and theoretical research done over the course of this semester. These elements will help us in the creation of a minute long video in the next semester. Over thr course of the class we have developed skills through workshops as well as personal experimentation which was compiled into a presentation. This presentation are the product pitch for next semesters work.

    • Our storyboard
      physical self: human walks go back and forth between worlds main character walks towards a dead end wall - no escaping of it self perspective of material human goes through wall/membrane human disappears confusion - what is happening ? transition from side to otherside small parts of the algorithm introduction of guard aka algorithm otherwise of the wall digital self continuous living and moving and changing starts creating its way of being by itself morphing with the digital realm end: one big messy world
    Concept:
    Today more than ever we as individuals in a western society are immersed into a digital reality. Each medium is an extension of the human body and mind. We all use computers, phones, the internet and intelligent machines that collect our every digital thought and move. Since the beginning of time the material afterlife has been in the center of focus - now in this anthroprocenic present we ask ourselves what happens to our digital self post mortem? What filtered view of ones self is left behind in the digital self? How does this change? How do the traces of binary we left throughout our existence transpire after we – as a source of data – have drained? What kind of world does the algorithm create from the information we fed it in our life? In our story this is the digital self/traces/abbild/artifact/reflection/depictiony.
