Misogynist Troll Huntress is an app developed with the aim to fightback against misogynist male Twitter users and networks, who falsely accuse women, victims and survivors of violence, of reporting fake allegations in an attempt to get welfare benefits and damage men’s reputation.
The aim of this display is to provide the audience with a different experience when looking at data, by reversing the traditional process from analog to digital.
