Tutta Notte Buia is an interactive installation that reimagines ancient mourning rituals through speculative digital erasure.
Our digital identity is an aggregate of partial data and misattributions, forming a fragmented self. In an era where our presence extends beyond physical existence, what does it mean to die? Does deleting one’s online presence equate to a second death, or does it offer liberation from perpetual surveillance?
And, more importantly: do we really want to be forgotten?
The artwork is produced as a result of the 2024 Traumstipendium prize, awarded by Energie AG and OÖ Landes Kultur GmbH, and will be exhibited at Power Tower Linz from May to September 2025 (including the period of Ars Electronica).
