The Hereafter Institute is a mixed media, immersive art project created by artist Gabriel Barcia Colombo as a part of the Art and Technology residency at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The project addresses growing questions concerning what will happen to one’s digital presence after they die. What becomes of our personal data, memories, and history? The Hereafter Institute offers a variety of technological solutions for the preservation of one’s digital soul including 3D body scanning, wearable memorialization, and the embedding of personal data into everyday objects.
Pedro was invited to be the Lead Creative Technologist for this project in charge of developing and overseeing four different and unique interactive pieces. The project culminated in a show at LACMA in August 2016.
