In data/unicorns we trust

In the organizer's words:

Interactive installation by OutOfTheBox

Digitally networked, always available and always connected - yet often lonely. All over the world, people feel more isolated, alienated and lonely than ever before. What role does digitalization play in this? Is there even such a thing as digital loneliness? And could technology help to overcome collective loneliness?

The interactive installation "In data unicorns we trust" is dedicated to the relationship between digitalization and loneliness as a social phenomenon and makes different perspectives visible based on interviews. With the help of specially developed software, participants explore the documentary material in a playful setting.
