Do Not Track - a personalised documentary series about privacy and the web economy
Do not track was a completely new experience to me. I didn’t know anything about it or what to expect and was very excited when i understood that, in order to prove that everyone has access to my data, they use my data to give me the kind of information that companies are willing to pay for. The problem is, that for some reason it didn’t work with me.Â
it didn’t give me any option other then to stay anonymous, so every time that I was suppose to have a personalised experienced, they would have to use the data provided for their default user, making my experience zero personalised... frustrating.
The concept of the series is extremely interesting though, and, if it had worked it would definitely be a true personalised and interactive idea. Also the topic they are approaching here is extremely relevant and interesting, and they chose a innovative way of telling this story.Â
I was very curious about how my habits are being interpreted and if I am a risk taker, a boring person, or whatever. I’m definitely frustrated for not having figured out those patterns as I was even willing to give all my data to found out! =(
Was surprised to realise that it is also another “National Film Board of Canada” series, showing a very direct interest on creative exhibiting formats. Will look for what other formats they found.Â
