INFORMATION BUBBLE / STUDY 001 Live prototype

p5.js project / Concept study

Information Bubble

Colourful bubbles drift outward from a wand. Clicking a bubble bursts it and increases the chance that its colour appears again. Repeated choices gradually allow certain colours to dominate.

The interaction explores algorithmic recommendation and the formation of a filter bubble / information cocoon.
