This year at Neotropolis, we added a Morgue and Pawn Shop for selling gently used cybernetics and trading. In the Morgue, my project (the coffin there) was a light and sound show that was supposed to mimic the experience of being "reflashed", or brought back to life should you have died and had a contract with us, The Thirteens, through our "Sou13ank". This is the second part of a chaptered experience, the first being 's project, the Soul Scan. In the coffin, your most recent conscious data is uploaded or re-uploaded to your vessel (your body, former or new), but you come away with some new memories that aren't yours-- memory bleed from your data's time coexisting with others in the server stack in the morgue.
This year was not the ideal form of this idea's ex*****on, but we all worked really hard to get it showing in some form, and we have a lot of plans for how to reshape it and do it all again next year with some inspired revisions and teamwork.
I love Neotropolis โค๏ธ๐๐
