“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 Is there any outdated, unnecessary or wrong data?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.
