Datavis installation showing a round glass surface with the pond projected onto. A phone that has the user-generated fish feed is tipped over above the pond.

The pond is projected from the underside on a large diameter transparent glass surface covered with a projection foil. Visitors can stand around the display to look at and interact with the fish.

App screenshot step where a user describes their emotion associated with their social media experience.
App screenshot step where users would grade their experience as a positive or negative one.

Share your experience by creating your own fish feed. Feed it to the fishes so your the school of fishes representing your social media platform of choice can grow.

The pond changes during the day and nighttime with the colors of the fish clearly visible at daytime, and the fireflies lighting up the pond during the nighttime.

The fish assets in the neutral color, drawn by Diederik van de Heg, with inspiration from co-design sessions with middle schoolers.

The call-to-action with instructions were printed and handed out on a business card.

Datavis was exhibited at the Next Culture exposition at Globe College in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
