In our scenario, public complexes will be designed in the form of high rise landmarks in which cemeteries are exhibited for thousands of deceased people as well as other functions such as exhibitions, commercial spaces, touristic spots, entertainment facilities and restaurants. As a reflection of social imbalance, hierarchy between cemetery rooms will be formed around the popularity and profitability of the deceased. Product placement will take place on the grave rooms, exhibited personal items and even on the cadavers themselves. This new market will involve top earning companies to sponsor for the installation, maintenance and other costs of a cemetery room to promote their own products to thousands of visitors from all around the world every day. People will experience the life stories, lifetime achievements, memories and see personal belongings of the deceased whether they are relatives or not. Different exhibition means such as audiovisual media, holograms and interactive tools will be placed in the cemeteries and other functions where appropriate. Today’s trend of individuals becoming a media source by means of social media, lays the foundation for the future dystopia. Our project criticizes the idea that it is a matter of time until individuals’ value for their own privacy will be irrelevant as long as there is profit involved.
