POLLING LIFE
2019
For the first 100 days of 2019, Eduardo Albuquerque endured a social experiment on Instagram where all his life's decisions were chosen by his followers.
Filled with gamification strategies and unexpected collaborative storytelling twists that flipped the illusion of control, “Polling Life” discussed democracy and privacy in the age of social media, addressing how big corporations and oligarchies are taking over social media to weaken democracies all over the globe, and how citizens must protect the right of choice.
The project achieved national recognition being featured in publications like G1, Canal Tech, and many others. The experiment's profile obtained massive audience numbers, organically reaching 600,000 impressions weekly. It even reached academia, being the subject of a Florida International University thesis paper by Maria Fernanda Souza.
