This publication synthesizes the conclusions of the II DAR Conference - Democracy, Algorithms, and Resistances policy framework (co-organized by DigitalFems, Algorights, and Lafede.cat), which analyzed the socio-technical impacts of artificial intelligence on fundamental human rights. The objective was to transform these insights into a cohesive data-justice decalogue (policy brief).
I led the comprehensive editorial layout and the creation of original conceptual illustrations. As the Art Director, I managed the design strategy and directed the work of contractor Edgar Seis, engineering the document's structure to translate technical algorithmic regulations into an accessible format that places care-centered policies at the heart of technological discourse.
Strategy & Visual Narrative
Instead of adopting the cold, corporate, and impersonal visual tropes that typically dominate tech industry reports, the visual strategy centered on the politics of care. The editorial design introduces constant visual references to collective care, interdependence, and life-support systems, creating a deliberate contrast against abstract AI discourses.
Developed a custom vector illustration system built specifically to anchor complex panel topics. The graphic identity injects localized political urgency into the document, functioning as a human-centered narrative vehicle that champions the urgent need for a regulatory framework where public policy and community care actively guide technological development.
The Outcome & Policy Impact
The decalogue was produced while the European AI Act was being negotiated, and articulated the signatory organisations' demands on how AI should be regulated from a rights-based perspective. The report came out of a process co-organised with Lafede.cat, a federation of 124 human rights organisations, and its criteria were taken up in the partner organisations' own publications on technology accountability.
The editorial architecture unified the visual language between the print report and the global event platform (jornadasdar.org) —which I co-designed— setting a professional benchmark on how to communicate complex algorithmic and data justice frameworks with a care-centered, intersectional approach.
