Milano Design Week - Bot Or Not?

For Milan Design Week 2026, my team and I developed "BOT or NOT?", an interactive installation at BASE Milano that challenges how we perceive digital reality. As social media becomes increasingly flooded with AI-driven bot swarms, the project puts visitors' digital literacy to the test: can you actually tell the difference between a human and a bot? The installation focuses on the blurred lines of online interaction. After engaging with our simulated social media interface, visitors receive a physical "data score" receipt that breaks down their performance. I led the collaboration with Surfshark to ground the experience in real-world data, integrating their research on bot swarms directly into the project. Despite the venue's strict curation rules, we successfully embedded their brand into the digital UI and the physical receipts, providing users with both educational insights and a trial of their security tools.
