GoBituary Rekindled

GoBituary Rekindled is a hybrid digital-physical history project that invites UC Berkeley community members to engage with the legacy of individuals who shaped the early development of UC Berkeley. Through a monument embedded with interactive technology and a companion website, GoBituary Rekindled highlights the lives and contributions of ten historical figures. The monument, installed in a public setting, allows users to explore collages of artifacts from the figures’ lives (like photos, quotes, and newspaper clippings) by simply placing a magnet (stylized as UC Berkeley’s Campanile) over a name. The accompanying website offers deeper narrative context, connecting these fragments to the broader stories behind them.

GoBituary

GoBituary is a project I developed at Florida Community Innovation, a civic tech nonprofit. GoBituary invites historic cemetery visitors to learn more about community members buried there via a web application. Through a partnership with Miami City Cemetery, we launched a pilot in October.
