2. 배경
We live in a digital powerhouse,
in which the internet is everywhere

3. 배경
Yes,
the internet is EVERYWHERE
.

.
But
Does it mean that we can use it regardless of
whenever, wherever, and whoever we are?

4. We have already experienced
Network Outage
2021.10.25 ⋯ KT Network Outage Nationwide
2018.11.24 ⋯ Fire at KT building in Ahyeon
Due to an unknown fire in the communication zone with
168,000 telephone lines and 220 optical cables, wired
and wireless communication in 14 building in Seoul did
not work.
KT's nationwide wired and wireless Internet network had
a connection failure for about an hour on the 25th,
causing confusion in companies, schools, and
restaurants using KT networks, and citizens suffered
great inconvenience.
We considered these events unusual
and expect to use the fast and stable internet as usual.
Background

5. Is this inconvenience really unusual?
No, It’s common for some

The Gap of Digital Power in daily life

Different Quality of The Internet
Background

.
.
Some people use fast and stable internet service
while others use slow and unstable one
depending on
where they are and how much they spent on

7. We cannot live without the Internet anymore
The internet has become a basic right and we take it for granted
Usually we do not recognize that
there is an inequality of the internet usage, which directly/indirectly related to livelihood.

8. Digital powerhouse is
a board game that reflects real society.
It started with the fact that it still overlooks
the inequality of digital power, even though
it is a world where we cannot live
without the internet.
It shows that unequal digital power is
directly related to money and survival.

21. Expected Effects
#Inequality This work simulates inequality in digital power.
It was intended to show that the goods we have leads to inequality in working
opportunities and, furthermore, inequality in economic power.
Covered by the sacrifice of technological advancement.
I wanted to make people feel that the damage they actually suffer is increasing,
and inequality has become a matter of survival.
