Mobile game about algorithms in social media
The Feed is a mobile game that deals with the role of algorithms in social media and their impact on our online behavior.
In a simulated social media environment, players take on the role of an intern in a large social media company. They decide which content is displayed to users, monitor their reactions and collect data to keep them online for as long as possible.
The app playfully raises awareness of the mechanisms behind the feeds we consume every day:
- How do algorithmsinfluence what I see on social media?
- What impact do my online activities have on the content I see?
- How can I navigate the digital space with confidence and self-determination ?
In four exciting chapters, players accompany different characters - the climate activist Elif, the singer Mila, the gaming streamer Leo and an anonymous fan account.
All four are connected by a single, fateful event. As the players vie for the attention of these users to keep them online, they gradually uncover how this event and the power of social media have shaped each character's life in unexpected ways.
