This module is written by Cristina Cochior and Manetta Berends in the proximity of [Varia](https://varia.zone/en/), a member-based organisation in the South of Rotterdam that works on/with everyday technology. The research behind this work was started in 2016 by Cristina Cochior and it was further developed and consolidated in 2020 together with Manetta Berends for the purpose of a workshop they organise together and this online module.
The module is produced in the context of the course *Data-driven research and digital tools* at the Department of Media & Culture, Utrecht University in collaboration with [Dr. Karin van Es](https://www.karinvanes.net) and [Creative Coding Utrecht](https://creativecodingutrecht.nl/).
