Designing informative experiences for a more informed society.

Since the advent of Web 2.0, internet users turned into potential content producers, contributing the important news and information proliferation we are witnessing today. Information overload, informative bubble, information bias, misinformation, and fake news are among the consequences the phenomenon originated, serious issues which are influencing our democracy and society.

Since several years, at the Unibz, we are exploring and researching alternative methods to inform a broader audience more transparently and engagingly, trough the shaping of information-rich experiences. The talk will introduce the audience on diverse ways to make counter- and positive-narrations emerge, towards a better-informed debate and society.
