What if our minds could live forever? Recent advances in artificial intelligence and neuroscience mean that we will soon be able to map our memories and experiences, and to use these data to build a digital consciousness identical with our own. But where do our identities really reside? In our minds, our bodies, or our relationships? The film opera Upload will explore these ancient philosophical questions against the backdrop of present-day and near-future technologies.
