The Urn Hard Drives are a series of sculptural explorations in practical and aesthetic solutions for preservation of "digital remains" and housing the data and digital artifacts of the deceased. Just as the bereaved are tasked with manifesting solutions for the anatomical remains of their loved ones, the bereaved are increasingly finding themselves in positions of having to manage the digital estates and online footprints of their loved ones as well, their digital property, their online accounts and the like. These sculptural works are an ongoing body of work to explore this emerging phenomenon and propose a sentimental solution.
