Data Tombs
Milo Reinhardt
Prompted by the question “Have you ever wondered what happens to your data when you die?”, viewers are invited to consider a near future preventative solution to losing a lifetime of digital assets. Presented as a digital archival monument consisting of a screen-based interactive gravesite, mobile application, and series of custom funerary hard drive cases, Data Tomb functions as a physical materialization of our digital identities and responds to a cultural shift in grieving as mediated by digital technology.
