Aide-Mémoire 3 - Media as a means to Eternity

Reflections on How and Why We Love Media

October 19, 2021 Media as a means to eternity We don’t know if there is life after death, or if it really is the end of our existence. The idea that everything I do, achieve, and think of will be lost with my death is truly terrifying. Therefore, I have become obsessed with the notion of an eternal existence. For me, media has become a tool against mortality. Publishing photos, videos, and ideas are not only to show the contemporary world who I am, but has also become a way to ensure my survival and show the future world who I was. Knowing that my media is everlasting, people can let go of and retrieve me when and wherever it is needed.
