Why Virtualithics and How to Become a Virtualithe?

Why Virtualithics?

Virtualithics is an urgent response to digital amnesia and the invisible pollution of the web .

3 reasons to exist:

1. Zombie Data Crisis

   • 90% of stored files are never accessed (IDC)

   • Servers gobble up 4-6% of the world's electricity

2. Memory in danger

   • Memes, screenshots, and disappeared websites form a threatened digital heritage

3. Art = Solution

   • Transforming forgotten pixels into tangible objects ( creative fossilization )
