Coyotek — Disruptive Tech

Project

COYOTEK is a speculative web market place used as a tool to create objects as well as to share narratives.
We use product design to materialize the real human stories behind the experience of the surveilled immigrant.
These products are not solving a problem, however their existence shines a light on how surveillance has been normalized in today’s society.
COYOTEK is an alternative narrative, a slightly extreme version of our reality born to bring a more human approach to the negative effects of surveillance on immigrants nowadays.

Background

The Immigration Co/Lab brings together multidisciplinary creatives of various backgrounds (storytellers, technologists, designers, filmmakers, journalists, activists, policymakers etc) involved with and working at the forefront of immigration issues to create projects that serve their communities, to foster critical discussions on current issues, and to address the potential of interactive media to serve as a catalyst for social justice.
