Terms and Conditions*
An Exploration in Personal Data
January-May, 2021
Terms and Conditions* An Exploration in Personal Data is an ongoing project discovering the ways in which targeted advertising and social media have a larger impact on the world’s economy than originally considered. As it is presented at the 2021 BFA Thesis Show, this project is a collection of five informative posters covering algorithms, trends, and language. My thesis focus started out as an observation during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, when TikTok downloads were rising greatly, and with that trends became well known and well-practiced within days. I was and continue to be interested in how algorithms have become so specific that users no longer have the illusion of choice and products are spoon-fed to every individual and how these data doubles may follow younger generations into the technological future.
