FANGØ, EMAP project by Martin Nadal, is nominated for S+T+ARTS Prize 2023 – Grand prize of the European Commission honoring Innovation in Technology, Industry and Society stimulated by the Arts.

FANGØ is a defense weapon against surveillance capitalism. Disguised as a mobile phone charger, it operates as a microcontroller that takes control of the smartphone into which it is plugged: Making queries to search engines, uploading videos, and liking random photos on popular social platforms. It aims to deceive data brokers and disrupt the data capturing process.
