Tuvalu’s official web address, Tuvalu.tv, reports that the first part of the country that will be affected by rising water levels is Teafualiku Islet, and so they have begun with this segment in their preservation efforts.
The internet is a place of wonder and innovation, and Tuvalu is using the full weight of this digital space to reimagine what it means to preserve and valorize a national consciousness and heritage. With the help of the digital realm, Teafualiku Islet and eventually the whole of the country will be digitized and uploaded to the virtual realm for unlimited exposure to what will surely result in a global diaspora if the worst comes to pass. In the same way that Johnny Depp’s Dr. Will Caster uploads his consciousness to the AI system that is his life’s work in an effort to defeat death itself in the movie “Transcendence” (via IMDB). The similarities depart there, however. In the film, Caster’s mind quickly seeks out more and more information, processing power, and autonomous capacity after merging with the AI. This eventually leads to the destruction of technological advancements that make the world the place that we all recognize.
Tuvalu’s aims are far less dystopian, even if they stem from a nightmarish scenario of veritable extinction. By developing this nuanced repository of physical and cultural data, the government is enshrining the values and heritage of the Tuvaluan people for an eternity.
