What will remain and who will take care of the countless traces we leave behind in our digital lives? This and other questions on the digital destiny of our past will be answered by philosopher and Thanatologist Davide Sisto.
Real dimension and virtual space, thanks to the persistence of our access to the net, are today overlapping and intersecting, so that it is increasingly difficult to clearly distinguish the two dimensions. We have left and continue to leave fragments of our existence on social media and various online platforms through the publication of images, texts, videos. But what will become of all this when we are no longer there?
And yet, the web has become the largest public square to celebrate remembrance or share even the private experience of mourning. Together we mourn our loved ones, together we remember our favourites. Together, in the near future, thanks to recent applications of Artificial Intelligence, we may spend a second life in virtual reality.
