This presentation is a story of a laparoscopic surgery viewed by this author, wherein the camera becomes the surgeon’s eye and the patient's interior is viewed through a monitor. The artifacts produced by medical imaging technologies, and the resulting requiem data cloud that spreads over the patient, raise questions about our physicality and what it means to be human. The shift in medicine from holistic to data-driven parallels a change in our narrative model as exemplified by our interpersonal communication through social media such as Facebook. The medical experience offers rich, complicated visual and textual rhetoric from which to understand ourselves.
