It is the posthuman or transhuman view of life and death. It presents a reflection on the fine line between life and death and its phases, where life (+) and death (x), the active +, the inactive x, pass side by side on the fine line between life and death and their passage from one state to another, closing the distance from a material world to an ethereal world, eliminating being apart, allowing being together again.
These are the future conditions of the human being and its connection to interfaces, implying existence from the interface after death, from the digital realm. Allowing a look from the transgression of the boundaries between human / machine, time / space and life / death, with new forms of creation in the codes of communication, maintaining the possibility of contact, as a post-evolutionary strategy, perpetuating the continuity communication from the interface even after death.
