“BEEHIVE” explores how the big data sector, particularly YouTube, threatens children’s rights when they play. By integrating sensors into playground elements, “BEEHIVE” turns children’s movements into digital–scrolling and video playback on the YouTube Kids app–transforming play into data. The artwork uses the metaphor of honey production to help children better understand data collection and processing. “BEEHIVE” is part of the DADA-TATA research project.
