Everyone deserves to live happily eVRafter… right?
Have you ever imagined living forever? What about living forever, digitally? eVRafter can help. Say goodbye to grieving; hello immortality!
eVRafter is an elaborate design fiction company; part of the burgeoning post-life digital service industry. When you die, all the data gathered through your lifetime of interaction with technology can be forged to create your immortal digital counterparts. For eVRafter that means your body may be gone but your friends & relatives can still spend time with you… inside a headset.
A 3-part digital presentation, using deepfake photography & cardboard Virtual Reality headsets.

Audience Reactions
“What a fascinating concept and just so beautifully executed.”
“The format was both original and effective. I have always steered clear of thinking about the implications of AI and virtual reality because it always seemed so dry and theoretical. This allowed me to approach it.”
“Brilliant! Such a clever way of exploring an idea - so subtle and surprising. Loved it.”
“Frighteningly plausible… such exciting work”
“Amazing, I absolutely loved it.”
