Workshop Concept
Booking trips, watching funny videos on YouTube, scrolling through Instagram - much of what used to cost money now seems readily available and free. But only seemingly - if we don't pay with money, we pay with our personal data, our time or our attention.
In our workshop, we take action together: Where are you being manipulated on the web? Are you doing something about it, and if so, what? What other strategies are conceivable for dealing with design patterns that are intended to obscure information, capture our attention, or urge us to buy a product? What do you need to protect yourself from this kind of influence?
We want to discuss this together and take the first steps towards implementation by jointly developing solutions for a problem that affects us all. If you would like to learn more about manipulation on the web and get involved, please register here: https://tud.link/gnj4”
