'Unverified Momentum' explores how future generations will engage with digital existence by transforming consciousness into digital after physical death. The project provokes audiences to expand the concept of death and human existence in the digital afterlife.
Unverified Momentum
Unverified Momentum' projects how people in the future will perceive death and interact with the new digital existence. The project is based on the future scenario that uploading the consciousness in the digital is part of our essential life cycle after humans physically die. The design aims to visualise the invisible transformation of consciousness into a digital process, which can be visualised by VR technology, and showcase how visitors and the deceased will navigate and experience the space.
Memorial Cinema
Visitors will journey through the memories and timeline of a deceased's life, from childhood to precious moments. This virtual reality experience illustrates the process of transforming consciousness into a digital existence, allowing visitors to experience and celebrate the deceased's second life. As this transformation unfolds, the mesh will expand until it is completely transformed in digital.
Exterior Design
Unverified Momentum' provokes the audience to redefine their understanding of death with the afterlife in digital and expand the cognition of human existence in a new concept.
Space Information
Exploring the space
The space that I designed involve the function that people can bid to the deceased physical death, regenerating the deceased body either into the new energy resources or transforming there consciousness into digital, and place that visitor who come to celebrate the death can give a bless and honour the decease's new birth as a digital existence.
Celebration Lounge
Visitors can communicate with those who have fully transformed into digital existence. They can celebrate with these new digital beings, who project as holograms and share the experience of existing in this virtual form, offering blessings for their second life. After the celebration, people can stay in touch with these digital humans through phone calls, messages, and FaceTime, allowing for ongoing communication.
