We worked with the Department of Social Services to make stuff and called it
The Algorithm of Disrespect
The Algorithm of Disrespect is an interactive social media platform for parents that simulates disrespectful content targeted at young people on popular social media apps, to expose how social media algorithms can influence kids with violent attitudes.
Designed to mirror social media user interfaces used by teens, and their social interactions, the platform shows how easy it is for children to be exposed to harmful content. Every detail replicates harmful content as closely as possible, from actors posing as toxic influencers to set designs authentically portraying different genres of social content.
With bespoke sound design and haptic vibrations to demonstrate how these addictive apps keep children hooked, the Algorithm of Disrespect is an authentic window into our kids' online world.
