Dear Nettimers,

Watch them. Feed them.
And watch who you are becoming.

Visually minimalist and ironically stylized, the game Feed’Em <https://github.com/agajdosi/feedem> draws players into the role of a digital farmer — a caretaker of data-bred, anthropomorphic agents created by artificial intelligence. These beings must be fed attention — the most valuable currency of the digital economy. The player is deliberately cast as the one nourishing cyber-organisms, which in turn shape the network — and by extension, the player’s behavior, needs, and worldview.

The game explores issues surrounding digital capitalism, data ethics, and reveals the complex relationship between humans and algorithmic systems on social networks. It highlights how our digital traces and interactions are used to optimize systems that then influence us in return. [more at https://screensaver.gallery/andreas-gajdosik-feedem]
