Thought Crimes:
Thought Crimes is an interactive installation about the privacy concerns in this digital age.
Every time we go online we leave trails of information that are gathered up either by private companies, our
governments, or individuals. Often times this information is processed by large programs that build profiles
of us without our knowledge. Sometimes these profiles are harmless, deciding what ads to show us on a
website, and other times they’re more dangerous, giving us credit reports or red-flagging us for the CIA.
