Cyber warning artwork grabs attention
Print Edition
Four sculptures stood in great contrast to the advanced technology on display in Wuzhen Internet International Conference and Exhibition Center. However, they attracted just as much attention from visitors.
The 鈥淐yber Cocoon Kids鈥 art installation, presented by UNICEF China at the World Internet Conference, shows four key risks for children 鈥 cyberbullying, excessive Internet use, online sexual abuse and oversharing personal information.
Artist Xie Yong and creative director Kevin Wang came up with the concept of 鈥淐yber Cocoon Kids鈥 to represent the potential isolation that can occur when children inhabit a cyber world that parents and caregivers do not fully understand.
鈥淧rotecting children online is a vital issue in Internet governance,鈥 said Fatoumata Ndiaye, UNICEF deputy executive director.
At the conference, UNICEF also co-hosted a Child Online Safety Forum bringing global experts to share learning, experience and practise.
鈥淎s policy makers, digital industry representatives or as parents and caregivers, we need to protect children from the worst that digital technology has to offer and expand their access to the best,鈥 said Rana Flowers, UNICEF representative.
