BRidGE ID

As we enter an era of mass migration, oscillating national affiliations and hyperconnected digital immersion, the way we form our personal and collective identities is fundamentally being reshaped. Political systems are being challenged to re-evaluate the contextual dynamic between the individual and their collectives. BRidGE gives citizens agency over identification for this multi-layered, decentralised future.

Collaboration with Bentley Farrington, Andrew Slack and Ivy Liang

Dynamic Formal Representation

BRidGE is a proposal for a digital identity platform that encompasses mechanisms for storing, verifying and displaying identification. Individuals can enter valued attributes in a distributed and fragmented data system. Palm devices recognise vein patterns of unique users, allowing institutional verification or a social agreement to be recorded for chosen fragments of information. An identity mixing desk allows a user to selectively disclose data and create formal or playful representations tailored to a specific context.

Holistic Approach

BRidGE was developed using a human centred design process that builds on a dynamic working model of the layered & contextual nature of identity.
