Were misled by the momentary span of each individual life, and by technologys attempt to reduce and define us. We live in conditions actively trying to annihilate populations, and rightly, we protest and resist, and we grieve from our depths. Death inspires fear, awe, and heartbreak. It's the most primal opening into a wildly unknowable place. The data of life, its scents of flesh and blood, and death, are encoded in and created by our bodies, experiences, and technologies. This data pulls us both toward an unknowable future and our most primal ancestral past, with its ancient taboos and drives. Our ephemeral bodies create, carry, filter, and interpret all knowable data, objects, time codes, and thought forms. Data points us toward historic relics, impressions left by the dead, coded into hard drives, digital records, and the ever-expanding web. What is this afterbody, and how does it soften into the noise of all that is?
