Death Design Data

Ten artists offer new considerations for grieving in the digital age

In the digital era, the experience of death and grief is the opposite of that of centuries past: saturated with information, yet devoid of rituality. With this influx of media and "content," is it possible that some form of visual culture could cut through the noise in order to reconcile human beings with death? Death Design Data unites 10 contemporary artists and designers to explore how different creative practices can produce new, innovative rituals surrounding death and loss, and how they affect us. The experiences, memories and invocations shared on these pages invite us to reconsider our mortality and the vessels that we use to navigate life and death.
