Over the course of eight months, the Institute for Cyber Routines and Performative Research (ICRPR) employed 26 local teenagers from Stuttgart: young researchers. Their object of research: the internet. How does it affect our lives? how do social media platforms change the way we communicate with each other? How do we listen to music online?
