I’ve noticed a number of tweets and blogs over the last couple of weeks using #digciz.
This week the conversation is being led by Maha Bali and Kate Bowles. Both have, as ever written very moving and thought provoking blog posts. Kate on kith and Maha on citizenship
Kate asks:
Where can we experience anything like kith online? Are there places that we love online, environments where we feel at home, that seem to love us back? Is this about user experience, or ethos? Is it about the trust we’re willing to place in design, in what data is kept and what is done with it? Can we feel at home under conditions of continual digital surveillance? Can we love a place that is manipulating us for business or political gain? Is it ever possible to experience kith when the whole thing is set up, controlled, regulated and organised in service of values we don’t share?
