China’s Social Credit System
Illustration Club Challenge 3
In summary, this article talks about how the social credit system in China gives everyone a score based on how good a citizen they are deemed to be. It highlights how this ranking system could discriminate against people of lower economic status, excluding them from opportunities that would allow them to improve their score.
"China has launched its “social credit system,” hoping to increase social trust. But when value is calculated by opaque algorithms using vast amounts of personal data, what will happen to China, and indeed, what might it mean for the world?"
This project is a part of Illustration Club
Illustration Club is a group of friends and co-workers who decided to get together, learn and explore editorial illustration. This personal project allows us to explore and practice our illustration skills, boosts our creativity and gives us a place to learn new tools and technics. We keep up to date with what happening around us and we translate that to our own visual language. The Club give us a place to test and try out new ideas. Very much a learning environment, supporting each other and giving constructive feedback has been a foundational element to our journey to editorial illustration.
