Project Description:
This work explores the emerging concept of digital heritage. It envisions a career as a data encoffiner, examining the traces of data left behind by individuals. Digital heritage preserves the memories of the deceased, encompassing their sorrows and joys. By following these digital remnants, the work delves into the path of the data grave, uncovering the hidden aspects of a person’s memory.
