"Dead People Liking Things on FB: A Lecture Performance Exploring Social Media and Mortality"
Explore the fascinating relationship between death and social media with this thought-provoking lecture series. Join us as we explore the intriguing phenomena of deceased people "liking" things on Facebook and the important concerns it raises about our digital legacies, memory, and the afterlife in a time when our online presence frequently outlives us. With an engrossing fusion of storytelling, analysis, and audience participation, this show asks you to consider the ramifications of our digital identities living on beyond death. This lecture performance presents a distinctive and captivating examination of a topical and fascinating subject, ranging from examining how social media platforms perpetuate our digital personas to contemplating how our online interactions mold our conceptions of life and death.
Come along with us as we set off on a voyage through the digital underworld, where the lines separating the living from the dead are blurred and our online personas become independent. |
