Remember Me Digitally

With digital lives extending beyond our physical ones, fundamental topics
of humanity such as death, loss, grief, and mourning have been increasingly
transferred to and negotiated in digitized media environments. This artistic
research based exhibition project is an observation of death in this digital
age as well as an envisage of future death. To what extend can technology
help to / do we want to memorize our beloved ones after their death? How
might people who have died maintain a digital identity that preserves their
integrity and desires in this life?
