The work takes as its starting point a reflection on the material and cultural capital that contemporary Western civilization will leave behind, and how much of the world we have built will stand the test of time. This work is a look at the ways and approaches to matter and nature that differentiate our civilization from some non-Western cultures, with particular regard to the distinction between the living, the dead, humans and non-humans, and the relationships between them, questioning the paradigms on which we have based our worldview. It is a work about the fossils we will be, about the dematerialization of culture, about witnessing, about information as the foundation of contemporary civilization, and about the risks of information, and culture, becoming noise, unintelligible.
