“Data Death” is a VR project created in the process of studying data lifecycles and rituals in the technological era. With her artwork, Nadezhda Bey draws attention to the ethics of data usage and its utilization. What can be considered a death for data? Is there any outdated, unnecessary or wrong data? The viewers of the artwork dive into a digital environment with an iconostasis and ceremonial monument surrounded by different data representations. There is no possibility to interact with it as the data is no longer live. What is left to the viewers is taking a moment of silence and listening to a data choral made in memoriam of it.
Nadezhda Bey created this installation with a combination of different technologies: VR, 3d scanning, and AI. The central sculpture was made with a 3d scanner, images of icons and music were generated by AI services, the virtual environment was hand-drawn in VR.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
