Abstract

The short film – The Care-Full Home – explores the datafication of everyday later lives vis-à -vis emerging technologies. The film was created over 48 hours during a hackathon focussing on ageing in a digital world. It uses satire as an overarching methodology to engage with the ambiguities of datafication and the uncertain boundaries between data and undata. In this accompanying piece, we outline the creation of The Care-Full Home and discuss the methodological potentials and limitations of satire as a means of critically engaging with questions of datafication and ambiguous social phenomena more broadly.
