Abstract
This essay explores the possibilities of extending the presence of an “I” of human (and nonhuman) self on the cusp of death or extinction. Reconfiguring loss of life as a story of hope through digital archiving, and viewing life as a device of transformation, the author weaves experiences and theory of illness time together with a new concept of D|other. The author employs D|other in illustrating what is taking place with material and digital relationality.
