Description

The micro-module aims to contribute to an understanding of how digital technologies and media shape us as individuals within specific social structures and through various media cultures. In a digital world, we are constantly challenged by the significant impact of digital technologies on our lives. We need to understand how different digital technologies and media shape our mindset and opinions, but we must also recognize the creative potential of digital tools. Working hands-on with digital technologies provides practical understanding and being a producer rather than a consumer fosters new ways of understanding both our society and our own mindsets.
