Our installation examines the subtle yet pervasive influence of digital algorithms on
human behavior, focusing on the phenomenon of dumbscrolling—the unconscious
consumption of digital content that transforms users into invisible workers, feeding
algorithms with data.
The installation combines physical and digital elements. At its core is a car tire that
symbolizes the laborious scrolling, paired with a screen that displays dynamic visuals
influenced by user interaction.
The experience concludes by quantifying the user’s invisible labor, revealing data
metrics and emphasizing their unwitting contribution to the system. By blending
elements of humor, irony, and critical insight, the installation provokes reflection on the
commercialization of attention and the boundaries of digital autonomy.
