Digital Composting & Hospicing Journey: Exploring Digital Afterlives

This project is an interactive web application that serves as a demo for a presentation and workshop on the "Only Loss" paper. It guides users through a digital composting and hospicing journey for their digital artifacts, illustrating key concepts from the paper and providing a foundation for discussion.

Features

  • Upload and process digital artifacts (memories), distinguishing between IDM and ADM
  • Create memory seeds and compost digital memories, challenging digital essentialism
  • Set up hospice parameters for composted digital artifacts, exploring digital legacy management
  • Simulate the passage of time and its effect on composted memories, reflecting on digital dasein
  • Prompt reflection on key concepts from the "Only Loss" paper throughout the journey

Process

  1. Upload a digital artifact (IDM or ADM)
  2. Create a memory seed
  3. Compost the digital memory
  4. Set hospice parameters for the composted artifact
  5. Simulate the passage of time and reflect on the process
