Individual Project

This project introduces a platform designed to organise users’ digital traces, evaluate them, and, with user permission, trade them with third parties. It analyses the relationship between individuals’ digital footprints and their habits and attention, reinforcing the notion that digital data is valuable and should be treated as personal digital property.

Context

In the digital era, our digital footprints reveal much about our habits and interests. Tech giants often collect and profit from this data without compensating the individuals who provide it. There is an urgent need for a secure and fair system to organise, analyse, and trade digital footprints, ensuring the protection and valuation of our data.

Concept

I investigated how interactions on digital devices correlate with user attention and developed a digital platform that collects activities locally to organise, evaluate, and fairly trade valuable digital footprints based on users’ interactions and actions across various apps.

Process

To explore the connection between user actions and attention, I observed three participants with distinct phone usage habits. By recording their screens and tracking finger interactions, I categorised their behaviours into four groups. These categories were used to create infographics that summarise actions and attention over time while using various apps.
