The underlying content of the project is most relevant to Modern Man. The universal fear
of death has inspired people of all cultures to ponder over the phenomenon of Death and its relationship to life and after-life. The Banaras ghats present a potent symbol of the interplay of life and death. Understanding life in relation to the peripheral presence of death can contribute to transforming and healing.

One of the challenges facing modern society
is the relationship of the individual to the whole, between people and communal memory and between people and the idealizations as provided in the myths of a culture. The internet, perhaps reflects modern computer society's yearning for the collective. The proposed project explores cultural learning tools that allow people to understand the relationship between the individual and the Whole. Technology, if it has to be meaningful, must respond to these perennial issues
of man.
