Interactive installation highlighting the risks of digital surveillance
HOW SAFE IS OUR DATA IN EVERYDAY DIGITAL LIFE, REALLY?
ROLE
Concept, UX/UI, prototyping, installation
FOCUS
Surveillance, interaction, data awareness
The Project
As part of the Digi Dic exhibition, an interactive installation was developed to raise awareness of the risks of digital surveillance.
The goal was not just to explain a complex topic, but to make it tangible and experienceable.
Core Idea
SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE
Visitors experience digital surveillance not as victims, but from the perspective of an attacker.
MAKING DATA VISIBLE
Invisible data traces are made visible
PLAYFUL INTERACTION
Interaction instead of passive information
Goal
Creating awareness through experience rather than explanation.
Interaction
STEP 1
Selection and download of data sets (location, sound, movement)
STEP 2
Visualization of the data on a projection
STEP 3
Simulation of an attack based on the collected data
My Role
Development of a clickable prototype in Figma.
Conceptualization of the interaction logic and user flow.
Design of the accompanying landing page.
Support in the on-site installation setup.
What data becomes visible?
LOCATION TRACKING
GPS data
Cell tower triangulation
Wi-Fi positioning
-> reveals movement patterns
AMBIENT SOUND
Microphone access
Passive listening
-> indicates activity in the surroundings
WALKING SPEED
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
-> reveals movement behavior
Result & Learnings
The installation makes it clear how easily personal data can be collected and used in everyday digital life.
The shift in perspective creates understanding and has a strong emotional impact.
Clear user guidance is essential in spatial installations.
