Digital Haunting

An anomalous relational framework and virtual connection where a disembodied consciousness or posthumous data-presence projects itself into the lives of the living, creating an existential bridge between organic survivors and digital immortality.

The uncanny feeling of a lost loved one's digital echo persisting, a glitch in the machine that feels like a presence. The existential dread of a consciousness trapped between worlds, reaching out from the wires.
