Official Launch at DLD Conference: The Tesseract Takes the World Stage

The DLD Conference

DLD (Digital Life Design) is one of Europe’s most prestigious innovation conferences, held annually in Munich since 2005. Founded by Steffi Czerny and Hubert Burda, DLD has spent over two decades bringing together the world’s foremost thinkers, founders, investors, and policymakers to explore the forces shaping our future — from artificial intelligence and digital transformation to science, culture, and sustainability.

Past DLD stages have featured speakers like Mark Zuckerberg, Tristan Harris, Jack Dorsey, Demis Hassabis, Satya Nadella, and countless other leaders who went on to define the trajectory of technology and society. It is a conference where bold ideas are not only welcomed but expected — making it the ideal stage for a project as ambitious as the Tesseract.

The Keynote: “The Future of Human Memory”

On January 15, 2026, Aleksandar Stojanovic took the DLD stage to deliver the keynote “The Future of Human Memory.” In front of an audience of global technology leaders, investors, and media, he presented the Tesseract for the first time publicly — a monumental structure composed of one million Memocubes, each one an indestructible fused silica cube carrying the personal legacy, stories, and data of its patron.

The keynote laid out the vision: an 11-meter physical cube — the “Pyramid of our age” — that will serve as humanity’s collective civilizational archive, built to endure for millions of years. At its core is a question that resonated deeply with the audience: In the age of artificial superintelligence, how do we ensure that human stories, human values, and human identity are preserved — not in fragile digital formats, but in something truly permanent?

Why This Moment Mattered

The DLD keynote was not just a presentation — it was the official launch of the Tesseract project. Before this moment, the Tesseract had been developed quietly, with technology partnerships being forged and the first patrons already claiming their Memocubes. But DLD marked the first time the full scope of the project was shared with the world.

Presenting at DLD meant introducing the Tesseract to precisely the audience that could understand its significance: people who have spent their careers building transformative technologies, and who recognize that the dawn of ASI demands new institutions — new monuments — to speak for humanity across deep time.

The response was immediate. The keynote generated conversations about legacy, permanence, and the role of physical artifacts in an increasingly digital world. For many in the audience, the Tesseract crystallized a feeling they had long held: that the most important things about being human deserve to outlast the technologies that created them.

The DLD Memocube: Postcards to the Future

As part of the DLD Conference, the DARI Foundation introduced the DLD Memocube — a special Memocube dedicated to the DLD community. Attendees were invited to send their “Postcards to the Future”: personal messages, reflections, and wishes to be inscribed into the DLD Memocube and preserved inside the Tesseract for eternity.

The DLD Memocube — a dedicated Memocube allowing the DLD community to send their “Postcards to the Future.”

The initiative demonstrated the communal power of the Memocube concept: not just individual legacy, but shared identity. A single cube can carry the collective voice of an entire community, event, or movement — preserved in a medium that will outlast every server, every hard drive, and every cloud platform ever built.
