In collaboration with Alejandra Gómez Ortega, I worked on crafting hopeful speculative futures of how to take charge of our online personal data trail. Based on Alejandra’s speculative design dataslip and the responses to dataslip at events and in workshops with children, we highlighted five areas of opportunity for positive data futures. We then explored these in more detail by writing scenarios and illustrating them. The project was part of the Design United exhibition at the Dutch Design Week 2023 and was presented at the TEI ’24 conference. You can find the future scenarios below!
