Digital computing power, with its capacity for autonomy, has ushered in a new era of work. As technological advances continue to reshape industries and redefine traditional jobs, office buildings and their once bustling open spaces have become obsolete, their imposing infrastructures now standing as silent witnesses. This object is a memorial to the tertiary world, a world of information galore that is disappearing at the dawn of a new era. Referring to the graves commemorating missing soldiers, the data memorial lists anonymous data sent automatically. The suspended ceiling is draped in layers of paper, creating a diffuse light. It presents itself as a relic totem, a collage of physical materials and meaningless data. Supported by elements salvaged from the remains of office buildings, each part becomes a fragment of the narrative.
