Personal data as currency

By 20-05-2018

“I’m a nerd – in the design scene. My affection for math, analytical thinking and ‘getting to the bottom of it’ define my design practice. I enjoy digging into complex and invisible patterns. Design is my tool to make these visible and accessible.”

“My main focus is on new economic and financial systems and the social impact of digitization. By combining research and speculations I create a different perspective on current developments.”

“For two years I have been working on a research on ownership rights of personal data. This started as my gradation project: data as currency and a system in which we can make an income out of monetizing our own information instead of the data driven capital in the hands of Big Tech.”

“For the continuation of this project I received a Talent Development Grant from Dutch Creative Industries and a subsidy from SIDN. Ever since, I have been working full-time on this data research: developing design studies, creating experiments, giving lectures, presentations and collaborating with experts. Giving insight in the manipulative methods of the data business and creating awareness that our data are of great value.”
