Bust cards

Bust cards are common tools in activist circles. Highly portable and inconspicuous, they are generally handed out to protesters containing information about their rights in case of arrest. This small exercise attempts to demonstrate what a bust card would look like in the case of digital rights.

Like Standard

Borrowing directly from the project ""Oil Standard", the "Like Standard" would be a plugin which converted all prices to the correspondent amount of Facebook likes. The idea here is not so much to get the exact value right, but to equate social media activity with labor and economical value, by making this relationship visible.

FaceDollars

In another attempt to make visibility the economical relationships patent in Facebook's business model, FaceDollars would be a plugin which would introduce a visible financial atmosphere into the platform. By publishing statuses, liking pages, filling out his/her profile, etc, the user would be rewarded with the correspondent amount of FaceDollars. However, when the opportunity arose for him/her to use them to purchase some FB goodies, he/she would be confronted with the impossibility to use that which doesn't belong to them. The intention behind this is to play with the duo desire/frustration so as to make the point stronger.
