Ars Electronica 2009: etoy - mission eternity "ceremony"

A digital death ritual for the information age

MISSION ETERNITY (M∞) trespasses the norms of a civilization obsessed with data storage and transportation of cargo. Existing architecture and rituals are inadequate when facing death today.

Independent of religious beliefs and scientific speculations, etoy explores life after death. The art group exploits computer technology and global transportation networks to process, distribute and revive human remains.

etoy.AGENTS could encapsulate 7 billion individuals per second for more than 83 years.
