El arte del olvido
Dos veces se ha cruzado ya con la cuestión de la muerte esta reflexión compartida sobre cómo la tecnología digital está alterando nuestros modos de vivir, de ser y de comprendernos.
Hemos rememorado la voz aciaga del último Nexus 6 anunciándonos que su final es también el de cosas que ni siquiera conocemos: “Yo he visto cosas que vosotros jamas creeríais: naves en llamas mas allá de Orión, rayos-C brillar en la oscuridad cerca de la puerta de Tannhäuser. Todos esos recuerdos se perderán en el tiempo, como lágrimas en la lluvia. Es hora de morir”.
Hemos recordado la “llamada muda” de los difuntos de Fayum: sus ojos clavados en nosotros desde los retratos que decoraban sus sarcófagos, pues, según relatara Herodoto, cuando alguien fallecía “los familiares se quedan con el cuerpo y encargan un cofre de madera, tallado a semejanza de la forma humana, en el que lo meten” y al que adhieren un retrato, luego “conservan ese valioso cofre en una cámara funeraria, donde lo colocan en posición vertical, pegado a la pared”.
En el noviembre de 2019 imaginado por Ridley Scott y en la provincia romana de Egipto, entre el siglo I y el IV de nuestra era, la angustia resulta ser la misma: que nuestros recuerdos nos sobrevivan en la memoria de otros.
Parece que no somos los únicos en barruntar que la digitalización del yo cambiará no sólo nuestra forma de vivir, sino también nuestra forma de morir. El proyecto Mission Eternity Sarcophagus, de etoy.CORPORATION, se ha alzado ganador de VIDA 10.0, la X Edición del Premio Internacional de Arte y Vida Artificial convocado por la Fundación Telefónica. Mission Eternity Sarcophagus no es sino “un sepulcro móvil”, del tamaño de un contenedor de carga pero con el interior tapizado de pantallas LED, “que contiene y muestra retratos interactivos de aquellos que desean que sus memorias sean conservadas digitalmente”. Por “retratos interactivos” se entiende una amalgama de “textos, entrevistas, fotografías familiares, etc”. provenientes de los ordenadores interconectados de las personas que forman la red social del difunto, a las que el proyecto bautiza, entre la trascendencia y la ironía, como “Mission Eternity Angels”.
Pero la hipermnesia que encierra para la vida la digitalización del yo impregnaría así también la muerte. Recordando la atormentada condición de Funes el Memorioso, el “vaciadero de basuras” de su memoria, nos hemos preguntado si nos será grata esa proliferación de recuerdos, si querremos hacerlos nuestros o más bien desearemos que nuestras prótesis digitales nos ayuden también, a veces, a olvidar, a desprendernos, como en las hogueras de la noche de San Juan, de lo que ya no deseamos en nuestra vida. ¿Era en verdad un don la memoria total cuyo secreto buscaban Raimundo Lulio, Giordano Bruno, Giulio Camilo o el propio Leibniz, o era una maldición? La misma pregunta –claro- vale para esa vida después de la muerte que ya los héroes homéricos
anhelaban: la pervivencia del recuerdo, que no era para ellos sino la gloria –el único modo de salvar la penosa inmortalidad de las almas en el reino de Hades, desprovistas de todo recuerdo o pasión. La misma pregunta: lo deseamos porque nos falta, pero, si de verdad pudiéramos tenerlo, ¿seguiríamos deseándolo? ¿Querríamos de todo corazón que nuestros seres queridos no nos olvidaran? Al fin y al cabo, ya decía el propio Borges que “no basta ser valiente para aprender el arte del olvido. Un símbolo, una rosa te desgarra…”. ¿Querremos rituales funerarios digitalizados que entorpezcan nuestra desaparición definitiva, para siempre, “como lágrimas en la lluvia”?

Qué reflexión más bonita, profesor… ¡Lástima que su pregunta final sólo pueda encontrar respuesta con el paso del tiempo! Y mucho me temo que si ésta es negativa, entonces resulte demasiado tarde para dar marcha atrás.
Gracias, Filmstar. Tantas veces nos hemos equivocado cuando nos creíamos seguros de que nuestras reflexiones nos mostraban con nitidez el futuro que, sí, tienes razón: sólo el paso del tiempo aclarará estas dudas. Por difícil que resulte imaginarlo, es posible que las tecnologías digitales lleguen a cambiar nuestra muerte más profundamente aun de lo que están cambiando nuestra vida. O quizá, al contrario, ésa sea su frontera.
¿Y los nacimientos digitales?. Los vídeos, fotos y todo el material de un sujeto desde el nacimiento. ¿Sabías que para el tratamiento del autismo se recurre a grabaciones familiares en vídeo desde los primeros días de vida?.
No tenía ni idea, Irene, pero me parece un contrapunto bellísimo a esa idea de la digitalización de la muerte: la digitalización del nacimiento puede ayudar a construir un yo, y esa ayuda puede ser especialmente valiosa en los casos en que la construcción de la identidad (y de la alteridad, claro) está gravemente amenazada.
Valdría la pena investigar por ese camino, ¿no? ¿Cómo podría nuestro yo digital mejorar la eficacia de esas técnicas de abordaje del autismo?

Believe you have to consider all aspects in the current economic climate - personally do no think we have seen the full extent of the recesssion, so would be cautious in considering.

Well, if you are looking for your own vacation home, there’s a really nice place in Rehoboth Beach. I stayed there one summer and it’s just perfect. It’s a very roomy three bedroom home with a deck and all the trimmings.
It’s close to route 1 and right down the street from the outlet stores, where you could do all your tax free shopping. But, it’s far enough away where you don’t have to deal with resort traffic. And there’s plenty of parking to invite your friends from the city for a weekend down at the shore.
Rehoboth Beach is only two miles away, so you could work on your tan every morning. There’s an amusement park and arcades right on the boardwalk to keep the kids occupied so you can have some time to yourself.
The city is clean and crime-free, with lots of great restaurants go have lunch and dinner. All the kids attractions close down after ten o’clock, but the bars stay open until one in the morning. There is nothing quite like going out with all your friends, and finishing your night sitting on the sand and staring out into the ocean.
Best part about this place is that it has a mother in law suite with a separate entrance. The suite has its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. So you could pay your mortgage by renting it out, while still having a place to call your own.
I really wish I could buy this place myself. The owners are retiring and want to travel. And you won’t find anyone else willing to part with a place like this at that price. But I got laid off recently, which put an end to my plans of acquiring this place.
So, take a look: http://www.homeinrehoboth.net They have lots of photos there.
This article is very nice. I like the style. And your blog is very nice. I have subscribed your blog, thanks. I will be back next time.

Gragg Advertising jobs are on dice and I just submitted my resume for the SEO Specialist. I wonder if they have a solid interview process? Lots of companies don’t have the knowledge about search engine optimization, but my buddy said Gragg knows a ton about SEO. Does anyone know someone that works at Gragg? I would love to pick their brain for a few minutes to get a insiders look into this advertising company. Gragg Advertising Job

You just replaced a failed network card, rebooted your server and now network wouldn?t start and your screen is filled with cryptic error messages about some kernel module doing something it?s not supposed to do. This usually happens on Fridays or a day before you leave on vacation. Here is a summary of some basic Linux commands that can help you to quickly troubleshoot many driver/module-related problems: http://www.krazyworks.com/working-with-linux-driver-modules/

Hi! lAozvri
In the back of my mind somewhere, although not entirely sure where exactly, I believe I’ve seen something like it around
I can’t hang around for long now, but I’ll do my best to dig it out for you when I get a chance. I think it may be in my huge list of “things to read later”!!

I understand why she some feel that autism is a gift, but I doubt they felt that way growing up, and I doubt that all of the parents who have autistic children at the other of the spectrum feel that way. It’s a gift only when one makes it into one. A good lesson that to learn is not to be so hasty to give up on a child at such a young age. It seems like doctors categorize autistic children very young, and that sets the tone for the rest of their lives. As far as we’ve come, there is still much that medical science does not understand and cannot explain about autistic children, or many other things for that matter.
