Expect projects that explore how we communicate and connect in a fast‑changing digital culture, from interactive narratives and AR experiences to web‑based infographics, AI influencers and audio‑led storytelling. Many works also engage with real social themes such as identity, gender equality, body image, mental wellbeing, memory loss, online behaviour, and the ethical impact of technologies like AI.
