Description
We have invited visiting researcher Jakob Borrits Sabrato to share some of his ideas and emerging projects on the Future of the Cemetery. He is exploring some complex and deeply personal questions about what we want to happen to our physical, and increasingly our digital selves after we die. Jakob says: "The disposal of human remains extends beyond the purely corporeal to increasingly digital and virtual remnants of a human life. This has startling implications both for us as individuals and families and, increasingly, for the Business of dying."Jakob is a danish Phd student of architecture, design and media technology, currently a visiting scholar at Bath and here in Bristol to work on The Future Cemetery Project. The forthcoming "Future Cemetery Design Competition 2016" will invite people to imagine a world where both human remains and a person's digital footprint must be considered at the end of life. Other projects include The Rooms Festival as well as research at the museum of Bristol.
This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.
Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.
