Corrupting Consumption

Digital sales spaces build up pressure to get you to buy online. They manipulate, coerce and exploit consumers. Today, these digital sales spaces have become extremely important in terms of consumerism. It’s time to question and rethink these manipulative mechanisms known as dark patterns. This browser extension examines dark patterns as well as disrupts the economic logic of those websites. Through a designed interface, it intervenes directly in online shops while providing access to information and critical resources. In doing so, the browser extension becomes a critical medium within digital sales spaces. Bachelor Project 2026 Hochschule Luzern Design Film Kunst Mentored by Ivan Weiss and Sarah Iller
