Captcha Candy Box

POSTCITY, First Floor, CAMPUS EXHIBITION @POSTCITY

In daily life, people are unknowingly forced to contribute playbor to big corporations, which use it for their machine training or other benefit generating. In this project, I attempt to discuss the value of playbor behind Captcha. As users finish the Captcha tasks, candies are stored in the installation one by one, which visually represents the value of users’ playbor. Also, this project aims to explore a new way to consider paying playbor contributors in the future.
