Cultural Activations: Public Participation & Interactive Experiences
We design interactive installations and tools that make digital privacy tangible, emotional, and memorable for kids, adults, and curious minds of all kinds.
Our interactive experiences invite participants to engage directly with privacy issues in dynamic and immersive ways
Blending technology, art, storytelling, and both fictional and real-life scenarios, these experiences allow users to explore how surveillance, data collection, data loss, oversharing, and digital identity impact our personal and social lives.
Through hands-on activities, participants can simulate privacy challenges, make choices, and witness the consequences of their actions—deepening their understanding of the complex relationship between technology, society, and privacy.

From Speculative Concept to Ars Electronica
The interactive installation “The Right to Be Forgotten” and the Boxfish device at Ars Electronica 2024, one of the world’s most prominent festivals at the intersection of art, technology, and society. The exhibition allowed to communicate data privacy concepts from a creative perspective and engage directly with visitors to gather feedback.
The Right To Be Forgotten explores the options of deleting one's online identity from cyberspace. It proposes a speculative Boxfish privacy device that people would activate before going online. Utilizing interactions inspired by the boxfish's body movements and defensive strategies (camouflaging, scaring away predators, and proactively defending by emitting toxins), it would work as an intermediary between users and data collectors, negotiating conditions under which data is shared on the user's terms, working literally as an object that gives control over data back to individuals' hands.

Co-creation workshops and public engagement
In our co-creation workshops, ideas don’t just stay on the whiteboard, for example, a single phrase from brainstorming exercise can transform into an exhibition artifact, making participants’ voices part of the public conversation
