This is one of the an engaging set of activities created by DigiPatch team to help participants delve into the science and psychology behind belief formation, the influence of social media algorithms on how we perceive reality, and the critical role of open dialogue. Through activities such as analyzing online “filter bubbles” and “echo chambers”, as well as reflecting on the subjectivity of human experiences, participants gain insights into the dynamics of digital environments. These activities encourage critical thinking, helping participants navigate and evaluate information while reflecting on their behaviors and social interactions in today’s digital world. Both final versions of the lesson and workshop scenarios were published on the project website: www.digipatch.eu in the Knowledge Exchange section.

As part of its research design and process, the research group ‘The Social Life of XG | SoLiXG‘ has initiated the identification, categorisation and elaboration of key concepts of the digital present. This poster contains a selection of these keywords, with more available on the project website. They open up a dialogue within the research group and with the field of research in order to better navigate our digital present. Rather than being intended as dictionary definitions, they reflect on our own methods and existing discourses. For us, they represent an exploration of how these concepts — simultaneously scientific, discursive, historical and political — can be understood. We are not concerned with drawing precise distinctions between the terms. We are more interested in problematising them in their composition. This also means taking into account their conflicting nature. Working with these concepts has enabled us to develop an intelligible order of the digital present.
