SUMMARY
Independent of religious beliefs and scientific speculations, MISSION ETERNITY explores life after death. The operation is based on facts: all we know for sure is that we leave behind mortal remains and a massive body of information. etoy exploits computer technology to store and process human remains forever.
The dead continue to exist as biomass and traces in the global memory: in governmental data-bases, in family archives, in professional records, and in emotional data stored as electrical impulses in the bio-memory of our social network.
At the heart of MISSION ETERNITY stands the creation and ultra-long-term conservation of M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES, interactive portraits and digital communication systems for human beings facing death (M∞ PILOTS).
The M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES contain digital fragments of the life, knowledge and soul of the users and enable them to design an active presence post mortem: as infinite data particles they forever circulate the global info sphere – hosted in the shared memory of thousands of networked computers and mobile devices of M∞ ANGELS, people who contribute a part of their digital storage capacity to the mission.
At the heart of MISSION ETERNITY stands the creation and ultra-long-term conservation of M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES, interactive portraits and digital communication systems for human beings facing death (M∞ USERS). The M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES contain digital fragments of the life and “soul” of the USERS and enable humans to maintain an active presence post mortem: as infinite data particles they forever circulate the global info sphere – hosted in the shared memory of hundreds of networked computers and mobile devices such as cell phones of people (M∞ ANGELS) who contribute a part of their digital storage space to the project.
