Networks of Care

Project details

Year
2020
Programme
Master – Media Design: Experimental Publishing

Networks of Care is a project supported by extensive research on online communities and their moderation systems. Through the format of a field guide, this work leads you through the attempts, accomplishments and missteps of users and custodians of regulated social networks.

Throughout the project, I collected user experiences by interviewing different community members, seeking the pioneering work of artists, designers, libre and open software enthusiasts, feminists and LGBTQ+ users. I gathered and analysed a broad span of Codes of Conduct and compiled other useful resources.

It’s exciting to consider which gestures may contribute to increasing autonomy and cooperation in digital platforms, whether Codes of Conduct can be useful to reduce hate and improve interactions, or even desirable.

Let’s explore the networks of care generated together!
