The sassy fish is a game and co-creation project investigating the materiality of digital infrastructure and how it influences the way we perceive our understanding of technology and its environmental impacts. Through interaction and decision-making, the user encounters statements and dilemmas posed by power and AI technologies, with the objective to save the fish.
The game is developed through open-source tools and it is grounded in humour, critical environmental awareness and literacy. It ultimately aims to invite the audience to reflect on how current digital technology infrastructures hinder our digital agency, inviting to reflect upon a desirable digitalisation.
