Digital wonder world

Watermelon Sugar is a series of renderings that depict the internet user’s browser history as a digital landscape. ‘What the user reads, shares and explores on the internet will visually inform his or her personal profile through objects,’ says Hong. 

The project echoes the sentiments of innovation design engineer Wai-Cheun Cheung whose alternative search engine Metadrift encourages users to wander within search terms and encourages serendipitous connections.

‘The amount of data feedback we as users provide will ultimately create hyper-personalised algorithms that will channel our consumption in favour of corporations,’ explains Hong. A 3D interface will enable users to measure the extent of their online consumption.
