ThE digital afterlife of Grief
Death and bereavement are driving new ways to communicate with the deceased to give us digital immortality. As artificial intelligence grows in popularity, consumers can animate still photographs, create virtual living worlds or maintain ongoing interaction with the dead via a chatbot application.
How we deal with grief is challenged in this digital age where the dead are resurrected and converse with us. Will this interaction help or hinder the bereavement process?
The film will incorporate AI, VR, AR, and mixed film and media technologies.
Documentary
Photography will no longer be the portal to the familiar dead. But what are the similarities and differences between the photography revolution of the Victorian age and the AI revolution of the 21st century and how do both eras manage(d) the social processing of grief?
AI Grief technology has changed how engage cope with bereavement and engage with the dead. Functionality has evolved from simple memorial pages to increasingly sophisticated chatbots that have an impact on how people communicate. Throughout history, humans have used technology to keep the dead present in society, from statues to gravestones, and photographs to social networks. Digital afterlife practices reflect how we grieve in the 21st century and evolve with each technological innovation. Digital immortality has moved beyond one-way memorial webpages and memorial accounts to primitive two-way chatbots and more advance AI holograms.
THE DIGITAL AFTERLIFE OF GRIEF will examine these social and technological revolutions and ultimately answer what it means to be post human.
Development
Interviews with global leaders in AI technology, creative and commercial industries, psychologists, bereavement experts, and the bereaved.
Portrait of Noni
In the summer of 2018, Noni was nearing the end of her battle with dementia. Together with her daughter, she spent her days in her living room while the world outside went by. Portrait of Noni unpicks the meaning of portraiture in the 21st century and questions our understanding of memory, identity and mother-daughter relations.
