Safe Internet is an interactive exhibit based on the books we designed and illustrated for CANVAS: Safe Space which is about data privacy, and #YOUTHINK which is about fake news. Illustrations come to life as murals, installations, posters, and light boxes, giving visitors a walkthrough of the two books.

Bird mobiles carrying more pieces of information and reminders also serve as wayfinding, leading to a different part of the exhibit.
An installation of asymmetrical light boxes resembling a lit up city and screens of gadgets fill a dark room. The graphics focus on false information: how it's spread, how to spot them, and tips on how to avoid falling prey to the shady parts of the internet.
