concept

The 21st century marked the dawn of the digital world. Humans record everything about themselves, using all sorts of social networks. In such a digital life information sharing and publishing has become quintessential and internet indispensable: we can get what we want so easily, we can share information anytime and everywhere, but this comes at the cost of our private information. We log in, we register, we submit, we agree to the terms and our data is used, tracked, analised, turned into statistics and marketing. The internet has turned into an invader of our lives. So why not invade jewellery too? Ting G developed her items as digital jewellery pieces connected to the web.
