This interactive installation reimagines ancient mourning rituals through speculative digital erasure. Our digital identity is an aggregate of partial data and misattributions, forming a fragmented self. In an era where our presence extends beyond physical existence, what does it mean to die? Does deleting one’s online presence equate to a second death, or does it offer liberation from perpetual surveillance? And, more importantly: do we really want to be forgotten?
