Copy 01: The World of Immortality ︎
[Illustration] [Publication]
"Copy 01: The World of Immortality" is the final project I completed for my BA degree in 2022. Through speculative design, I explored how illustration and publication can provoke the younger generation commonly referred to as "digital natives" to reflect deeply on the existential issues arising from the development of self-digitising technology. Using graphic novel format as a means of visual communication and narrative, I depicted an ex treme future scenario brought about by digital immortality technology. At the same time, I focused on the inner thoughts and unspoken feelings of people in the evolving digital age. Based on my re search into the current stage of digital immortality technology, my novel "The World of Immortality" envisions a dystopian future where lifetime data becomes the continuation of our self-conscious ness and soul. The protagonist, Copy 01, is a digital soul composed of a person's lifetime data, who attempts to escape from the world of immortality in various ways but ultimately fails. ︎
