“Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital “Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age” features the artwork “Trying to Remember What I did Not Experience” by Mehrdad Mirzaie. Mehrdad Mirzaie is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist, assistant curator, and educator currently based in Phoenix, Arizona. His practice centers on the mental image, the politics of seeing, the politics of memory, and historical images, particularly in regions marked by censorship, state violence, and historical erasure. Working primarily with photography, archives, and alternative image-making processes, he explores how visual histories are preserved, reinterpreted, or lost, emphasizing the dialogue between bygone eras and contemporary contexts.

“Ghost Writer” by Miguel Monzon is now on display “Ghost Writer” by Miguel Monzon is now on display in, “Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age” at Vision Gallery. This piece experiments with the use of AI systems and his late brother’s unfinished song lyrics to bring them to life. 

“The project foundationally intersects with the emerging ‘technology grieving industry,’ in which AI and other tools are used to “revive” the deceased. From targeted services for war widows to courtroom applications of synthetic testimony, there is a growing use of these technologies to grapple with loss. The work critically engages with these contemporary technologies, as well as their environmental cost, labor devaluation, especially in the arts and music, as well as their entanglement with military and propaganda infrastructures.”

“Through this project, Monzón implicates himself within these systems while exposing the technological and economic structures that sustain them. The work ultimately questions a future in which grief itself may be reframed as inefficiency, subject to optimization, commodification, and erasure by the very systems he used to create this work.”

Check out the video game-based art piece, “Unskipp Check out the video game-based art piece, “Unskippable Dialogue” by Alison Faygo in “Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age” at Vision Gallery. The art piece is uniquely set up, as the piece includes car auto parts and portable DVD players for the 3D animated videos to play. Two videos converse with one another: once played together, steadily unsynchronized over time. A road-trip never taken, daydreams that reference a past so distant it comprises a sort of liminal space in the mind.

“The title ‘Unskippable Dialogue’ references the video game mechanic of the same name where players are forced to sit through dialogue sequences before progressing. While often a source of frustration and interruption of flow state for players, these pauses frequently conceal the necessary loading before the next scene. What appears as narrative delay is in fact a threshold, a moment where the system quietly prepares what comes next.”
