Description Medal
One side of the medal is a cookie with chocolate bits at the surface. It represents the cookies we have to accept automatically by visiting any website. The other side, which appears to be in the cookie itself, is shaped like the porthole window of a rocket. In the background you can see the logo of the 'world wide web' which has become indispensable in our everyday life. The human floating in an embryonal position, symbolizes our desire of feeling safe in this big and fast ongoing world. This person is connected and fed by an artificial umbilical cord, standing for our meanwhile nearly unbreakable dependency on the internet. Obviously, most people ACCEPT all cookies because it is the most time- and nerve-saving path. The dominant word on the second side of the medal can also be understood in another way. ACCEPT how the modern world works and make the best out of it.
