• Resumen

  • In the relentless drive for efficiency, our lives are increasingly dominated by decision-making algorithms imposed from above. As Usman Haque observes, this leaves us feeling disenfranchised. Umbrellium, the team he cofounded to design and deploy participatory platforms, is working to re-establish community engagement. Its ongoing VoiceOver project in the village of Horden, County Durham, shows how people can be encouraged to connect beyond their usual sphere and to make collective decisions, enhancing their sense of ownership of the outcomes.
