Anima Code
Anima Code is a personal seal stamp with an engraved QR code. The code holds an access key to a person's online digital data. Many people record their lives on social media, yet these archives often become inaccessible after death. Anima Code allows the bereaved to scan a code stamped beforehand and reach the digital archives of the deceased. The stamp is made of transparent acrylic, laser engraved to precise dimensions, and measures 10 mm square and 62 mm long. The packaging is made of paulownia wood, a material long used in Japan for storage.
