👉 The Gone Project is an artistic initiative led by Phoebe Ann Kearns, aiming to explore themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life through a series of multimedia projects. In 2014, Kearns released a short film titled "The Gone Project," which features a character who dies and is then digitally preserved in a virtual reality environment, prompting viewers to reflect on the impermanence of existence. This concept evolved into a broader project, including a book titled "The Gone Project: A Memoir," a digital archive of the character's final messages, and a website where users can contribute their own reflections on life and death. The project serves as a poignant commentary on the human condition, encouraging audiences to confront and appreciate the preciousness of life.
