Interactive installation for playgrounds
BEEHIVE explores how the big data sector, particularly YouTube, threatens children’s rights when they play.
By integrating sensors into playground elements, BEEHIVE turns children’s movements into digital actions– scrolling and video playback on the YouTube Kids app – transforming play into data. The artwork uses the metaphor of honey production to help children better understand data collection and processing. BEEHIVE is part of the DADA-TATA research project.
