Outcome
My team built a personal, yet not personalised radio. The radio, Airo empowers individuals to get aware of the filter bubble and take control over it through promoting exposure to diverse perspectives. Using physical computing, it challenges the filter bubble phenomenon and presents an alternative way of experiencing social media.

We rarely question why we do things in the same manner, be it choices of restaurant, follow the people we idolise, take the same route to a place on a regular basis. As a species, we like patterns and when we inculcate them in our behaviour, it becomes our habit. This inhibits us to experience other possibilities that we might encounter.

On the internet, we browse through our feeds through our favourite websites with a high chance of not intending to become educated on a certain topic. Browsing through the feed appears like a futile act but they are highly tailored content pre-decided by a force that might have a consequence.

Filter bubbles are fundamentally altering the way we encounter information, insulating us from any sort of cognitive disharmony by limiting what we see, leading us to have stronger distorted views of reality, dogmatism, political and ideological polarisation.
