THERO – Device to (physically) manage online privacy

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Members Objects People , Posted on:

Created by Román Torre and Ángeles Angulo (Rotor Studio), THERO is an object exploring the concerns surrounding online privacy by the means of an apparatus designed to allow users to manage and be aware of their data traffic in a (literally) physical way.

The treatment given to the resulting object is artistic and precious in all moment, with a geometry and cleanliness reminiscent of an idol or talisman, which has a value above its material qualities. It has the value of freedom and the right to digital privacy. This piece opens a space for reflection, forcing the user to be aware of their data traffic in a (literally) physical way, in reference to the object.
