[PROJECT INFO]
Stop Hate Speech explores the spread of hate speech online and possible courses of action for dealing with hostilities and insults that target a person or group based on their identity. To create digital posters linked to Stop Hate Speech, students from the Interaction Design BA at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) used word play with anagrams. The aim was for viewers to interact with the posters in public spaces.
With the help of anagrams, the interactive poster attempts to deal with hate speech in a playful way and to invalidate its negativity.The focus is on the terms whore (Hure) and calmness (Ruhe), which are invalidated in the interaction between visitor and graphic in an abstract representation of points. The colloquial insult is in a sense reappropriated.In the pictorial conversation, the hateful and sexist slur is transformed into something positive.
