In Season 1, we delved into what happens to our digital remains once our mortal bodies are well and truly shuffled off. This time, we take a different posthumous angle with heritage researchers Dr Jenny Kidd and Dr Eva Nieto MacAvoy from the University of Cardiff.
Museum professionals and curators care deeply about authenticity, truth, community and connection – much like artists.
For Jenny and Eva, the ethics of weaving technology into our memory of the past is at the heart of their work. They have written about the impact of platforms like DeepNostalgia or DeepStory on how people relate to their family history and heritage.
We learn that Algorithm-powered nostalgia can take leafing through your family photo album to unexpected places.
