Description

Digital, AI. From the "secrets are sweetest" series.

Patron & protector of Pharoahs, Serket (pronounced: circuit) was known as "she who gives breath" by devotees. Holding symbols of life & power, her cult was comprised of early physicians, discovering new science & medicine in what they termed "the necessary art."

AI is both poison & salve, with opportunity to kill & heal in equal measure. Serket kept watch over the remains of the dead.
AI is rapidly allowing for a simulated immortality, by means of uploading "digital human remains" as data footprints to visual chatbots, a conduit to contact lost loved ones. As a circuit moves electrons though a closed loop, Serket guided the dead to the right path along the river of the afterlife.

The questions we must ask are both simple & complex: how wide is the gap between the simulated & the real? What is sacred, inherent to humanity? Is mystery--unknowing--important enough to consider? Let her be a reminder to explore this "necessary art."
