The Digital Self
autumn 2020This publication is the culmination of a semester-long research project into data, identity, online profiles, and data ownership. It was created as a project in the course Making Futures at Design Academy Eindhoven in autumn of 2020.
We have all heard the phrase that “Facebook knows us better than we know ourselves”, but is that really so? This question is the starting point of the project. The publication traces the steps of the research and explores related topics encountered in the process. Topics such as astrology, online dating, anguish and algorithmic biases.
