Context
We leave trails of ourselves online everyday. Our increasingly linear relationship with the internet feed the possibilities of a generation influenced by the media and the inevitable filter bubble.
By understanding our contributions to corporations through daily internet use, we will then be able to see the values of our interactions. Only then can we be more thoughtful internet users, conscious of our daily data accumulation.
Inspiration
Based on a surrealist fiction by Richard Brautigan, the work borrows from its poetic narrative to inspire new visual interpretations and interactions that incite our imaginations for data visualisation.
