Inmortalidad Digital

The creation of the web is a story of freedom, a digital space in which everything can be linked to everything else. Because omni-linking is, above all, an ideal, a desire for freedom. Thirty years later, a grotesque limit has been reached: the dead refuse to rest and are transferred to digital media; the living refuse to die and are obsessed with perfecting themselves and remaining. Dying is something primitive; the civilized thing is to continue linking oneself without stopping, to other bodies, other entities, other planes. In this lucid and caustic essay, Raquel Ferrández explores the modalities of desire and its drives of life and death in a world that is presented as an extension of the web, where it is possible to link oneself infinitely, immediately and simultaneously, and where transhumanism, surveillance capitalism, artificial intelligence or techno-wisdom try to eliminate the impact of what it means to be alone.
