WINWIN A CONSENSUS ALGORITHM

↳ Synopsis
A new ritual for democracy. Conversational experiences online often go sideways, down the meaningless customer chatbot vortex or toxic discussion trolling. While technology accelerates and creates new practices, democracy lags behind in old structures. This friction results in a society that is too impatient to listen to each other to have a decent exchange of perspectives. Creators Nienke Huitenga and James Bryan Graves see WINWIN as a new routine for democracy that matches the empathic nature of humans and the harmonizing potential of an algorithm.
The experience. WINWIN is a participatory and performative experience for a small group of people guided by an algorithm: they debate a societal issue, dressed in playful statements, to discover common ground within the group. It can be played in any language you’d like as long as the group can speak/write it. WINWIN softly installs a person in a pleasant ambiance designed for anonymity, and at the same time make the 'person-node' a radically equal player in a group.
WINWIN celebrates consensus as a key outcome.
