Virtual Heritage

Ana Daldon
2015, Installation

In the last years, several alternative social media and virtual socio-connections are under consideration in order to alter the threats of non-social media life, discontinued verbal communication, negative self-images and the dependence of corps-à-corps relationships. A rituality is a social media-real ritual developed considering and calculating the number of social media contacts obtained thanks to funerals, amounts and duration of eternal profile-page consultation, the quotient between the on-line and the printed photo after the funeral ceremony, etc. Ritualities are supposed to mitigate the sorrow impact on a man caused by the death of another sample of men. This work shows the results of the research Virtual Heritage: a comparison between dynamics in aftermath social media and ritualities (Daldon, 2015) and is a laboratory on ritualities with the aim to collect new data.
