Exploring children’s attitudes towards notions of the digital good through hybrid arts practice

Understanding children’s ideas and knowledge is crucial in shaping our collective vision and actions. Yet, children’s voices aren’t heard in discussions about our shared digital future.

Through hybrid art workshops with over 250 children, this Digital Good Research Fund project led by Dylan Yamada-Rice worked with children to imagine and shape a possible digital future where technology use is ethical, responsible, and inclusive.

Emerging themes relate to surveillance, entertainment, ownership, agency, security, environment, climate change, loss of privacy, and inventiveness.
