ik R.I.P.

When you die, what becomes of your online identity? This thought-provoking question is addressed in the current exhibition at Mediamatic in Amsterdam. From the website:

What happens to your online profile after you die? Do you want it to remain online, so friends can leave a message in your memory? Or do you prefer having it deleted, so no confusion can arise about your death? These questions are the inspiration for the new exhibition Ik R.I.P., the third in the series about self-representation on the internet.

With The Travelers by Elizabeth Heyert, coffins from Ghana, the computergame The Graveyard, 'test-dying' in a coffin, workshops Coffin for your Beloved, the new website www.ikrip.nl and more.

The exhibition runs through 12 April, so be quick! Mediamatic is located on Vijzelstraat 68, and is open Wed - Fri from 12.00 to 19.00 hrs, and Sat + Sun from 12.00 to 18.00 hrs. If you can’t make it, you can still set up some digital last wishes here.
