My Patreon: www.patreon.com/simonobirek What happens when the boundary between immateriality and materiality breaks down? What happens when technology tries to capture ghosts? In this episode, I look at three examples of ghosts trapped in machines; a South Korean mother meeting her deceased daughter through virtual reality, a boy racing the ghost of his father in an old Xbox game, and people seeing their dead relatives in Google Maps. I'll be tying these examples up with theory from Donna Haraway, Jacques Derrida, and Mark Fisher. My Twitter: www.twitter.com/SimonObirek My Instagram: www.instagram.com/obirek_
