About this Event
Much of contemporary life is now recorded in data, images and online interactions, shaping how we are remembered and memorialised. From archived social media accounts to AI-generated avatars, new technologies are reshaping how we remember, grieve, and potentially reanimate, those who have died. Join us for a panel discussion that brings together leading voices to examine the culture, ethical and social implications of digital remains, including consent, data stewardship and digital legacy.
This event runs in conjunction with Dearly Departed: death in life, State Library's exhibition exploring mortality through history, art and personal stories. Attendees are encouraged to explore the exhibition to engage more deeply with its themes and artworks.
This event forms part of Dearly Departed: death in life and engages with themes of death, dying, grief and remembrance. This event may contain photographs, videos and recordings of people who have since passed, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
