PERIPHERAL:
One example of a ‘peripheral’ display related to my topic would be the “Internet Blackout Day” which went down [look up date].
The PLACE where the Peripheral would occur should be either online (web display) or some kind of sign/public display where many would see it. The goal would be visibility/impact.
For my proposal, I want to shift the collective conversation towards the battle for internet policy / net neutrality going on behind scenes – primarily involves lobbying, interest groups, and big business.
HYPOTHETICAL IDEA: ‘live stats’
If there were some way to keep track of all the millions of dollars spent behind the scenes (in private) to lobby against net neutrality / against public interest, my idea would involve presenting that statistic.
For example, it could be a website that users can visit. The website (interface) will display how much money is being spent in the political battle – and as a way of putting it into perspective, it could show other useful ways in which the money could be spent.
(IE: Why don’t they use that money to invest into infrastructure, or something else?)
If it were to be displayed in public, this idea would also work as a billboard or something along those lines in a big city or off of a busy highway.
