ABOUT THE WORK

 

Build-A-Web Workshop allows the user to assemble an idealized internet in the form of a dress up game.

 

Dress up choices are informed by the frustrations that marginalized groups experience online. 

​

Anyone who didn't identify as a cis straight able-bodied white man were invited to answer the following questions:

​

What do you avoid on the internet?

​

What do you think the internet lacks? Any particular areas of information, data or connections that come to mind?

​

What’s the number one thing you would change about your experience online?

​

How has online surveillance shifted the way you navigate digital spaces?

​

Have you come across any safe corners of the internet?

​

Have you seen or heard of any creative ways people have navigated their safety on the internet?

​

Social media has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. How has your experience shifted along with it? Spanning from online forums to the emergence of big tech and beyond

​

How does the internet affect the relationships with those in your life? Has it caused any harm or good?

​

Can you name a time when the internet provided a meaningful change in your life?

​

Has the internet liberated you in any way?

​

How do you imagine the internet being used "for good"?Whether that be for the collective or just for you.

​

The biggest thank you to everyone who took the time to answer these questions <3
