Diploma project
Autumn 2020
Institute of Design
Potential Newsfeed is a master thesis exploring how the invisibility and immateriality of the newsfeed algorithm affect our capabilities to make conscious decisions about information consumption. Through speculative design, three concepts are presented to showcase different dimensions of transparency and control we can intervene with the digital system.
The focus of this diploma lies in using design artifacts and storytelling to arouse awareness and discussion among people on how the public, regulation, technology, and social environment could potentially engage in adjusting the direction towards a future platform.
