Digital Minds

How the internet works, told in an animated short film

Participants use the internet long before they understand how it works. The programme addresses digital identity, data transmission and privacy through the construction of a shared digital city: each participant creates a character and a home, and the groups form the neighbourhoods of a single settlement. The city is then animated in Scratch, a block-based programming language designed for children, and completed with an artificial intelligence tool used under the direction of the group and never by an individual participant alone.
