Reality::::: 3.0 CORPORATION ( i.e. etoy )

etoy-_-2007

Mike Kuniavski, the curator of ISEA’s interactive C4f3, picked up his five favourite projects of the festival.

In Mike’s words: The basic notion is to use the power of networked digital technology and inexpensive storage to keep aspects of us alive after we’re dead. On one conceptual level, it externalizes the network of memories and documents we leave behind, and places them into a digital world, which is projected into the physical one as a shipping container sarcophagus filled. The sarcophagus is simultaneously a display, an environment and metaphor, and as it ages, etoy will replace the LEDs with the ashes of the people whose digital selves they manage.
