Data Urns

Daniel Huber (AT)

POSTCITY, Campus

Imagine a gadget which allows you to leave your legacy as an artificial intelligence. While you are still alive, you feed the neural network of an urn with personal data, which creates a replica of your own digital identity. It allows you to communicate with your previously determined heirs, expressing last wishes and passing on the digital heritage.

This speculative design project poses questions of digital immortality, data transparency and human consciousness.
