Skibsted.net - What Does Digital Identity Look Like?
Method
The way we approached this project was to start out with building the web page so that we were able to investigate the result. The process has been characterized by our curious and experimental approach. This lead us to an ongoing adaption of the web page based on the results we gathered.
Skibsted.net is constructed so that Jens Martin Skibsted’s data from a number of online services is collected on a continuous timeline and by a ‘tag’ function. In this way Jens Martin Skibsted’s life is maintained and sorted in the digital realm, and in relation to a general timeline.
