“Beehive” Interactive Installation for Playgrounds: Reflecting on Children's Rights in the Context of Big Data Industry
Pages 969 - 972
Abstract
This paper introduces the Beehive interactive installation's prototype and explores how the big data sector, particularly YouTube, threatens children's rights during their free time and play. By integrating sensors into playground elements, Beehive turns children's movements into digital actions—scrolling, video playback on YouTube Kids app—transforming play into data. The artwork uses the metaphor of bees and honey production to aid children in better understanding data collection and processing. In doing so, Beehive seeks to promote digital literacy and advocates for children's informed online engagement, with future plans for research and workshops to deepen understanding and awareness of children's digital rights.
