In Digital Graveyard, a virtual and interactive work, the public is invited to reflect on its own death, but in a playful way. This is nonetheless the paradox, or even oxymoron (an oxymortality?), represented by the tension between the rich and colourful iconography, the piece’s “game” dimension, and the fact that each and every viewer must actually check in to a future in which his or her death has already come to pass! It is up to viewers to come to a decision, and to dare to tame the irreducible human condition, by choosing “their own” headstones out of a wide range of tombs, on which to have their initials engraved. Another important function of this digital piece, which takes the form of a dedicated website, is the idea of inserting oneself into a wider community, that of the “virtual cemetery”. Thus, Keight reminds us that, from time immemorial, there have been sacred and ritual qualities to the question of burial, qualities that are part of a collective dimension... but he renews the way that dimension is seen, through the individuation of each person via his or her own colours and choices, conscious and alive. https://digitalgraveyard.shop/

Avec Digital Graveyardœuvre numérique et interactive Digital Graveyard, le public est invité à réfléchir à sa propre mort de manière ludique. Ce paradoxe, voire cet oxymore (ou oxymort ?) est pourtant représenté par la tension qui existe entre la riche iconographie colorée, la dimension "jeu" de cette pièce et le fait de devoir, pour tout un chacun, s'inscrire réellement dans un futur où sa mort est matérialisée ! A chacun de se décider et d'oser apprivoiser l'irréductible condition humaine mortelle, en choisissant, au milieu d'une large gamme de tombes, "sa" propre stèle sur laquelle il fait graver ses initiales. Autre fonctionnement important de cette œuvre numérique, qui se déploie sous la forme d'un site dédié, c'est l'idée de s'insérer dans une communauté plus large, celle du "cimetière virtuel". Keight nous rappelle ainsi que la question de l'inhumation a depuis tous temps possédé un caractère rituel et sacré qui s'inscrit dans une dimension collective... mais il en renouvelle la vision par l'individuation de chacun via sa couleur et son propre choix, conscient et vivant. https://digitalgraveyard.shop/

When Death abruptly comes for you in Caravaggesque chiaroscuro, no one is ever ready for it, and everyone is lost to utter stupefaction, unable to imagine this passage to the beyond.
