Mapping the oblivion
The difference between a village and a city is that in a city, you can walk around anonymously, without everyone knowing or watching you. In the digital public space, this is becoming increasingly difficult. Can we still achieve a state of forgetfulness in the digital world?

The award-winning installation Mapping the Oblivion explores what it means to be forgotten in a world full of data. Do we want to live within the boundaries set by algorithms, or can we escape them? The installation shows the impact of recommendations on our lives through the lens of a family’s Netflix account.
