BA GRAPHIC DESIGN
The Other Olympics
with Nicole Udry
During the third special week of the semester, the 1st year Graphic Design bachelors had to create a communication project around the rules of a sport that is not part of the Olympic Games.
Our lives have become increasingly digitalised. The expanse of our online activity results in a digital footprint that will live on well after we pass.
Despite growing concerns about the data we leave behind, only a small number of people are actively planning their own digital legacy.
However, for those who wish to plan ahead, access to information on the process of digital inheritance is scarce, lacking in legal uniformity, and often reduces our entire digital presence to a mere three or four steps. Oftentimes, the law contradicts most platforms’ terms and conditions.
This project challenges the lack of sensitivity shown to the people behind these profiles that will be inherited and speculates on future inheritance processes whilst providing a contextual, legal, and statistical overview.
