inflatableworld.site is an in-depth exploration of a somewhat universal online experience. From time to time we stray from our intended digital tasks in search of something out of the ordinary. Maybe we’re looking for a new pair of shoes, or a replacement part for an old gadget. Unknowingly we stray across some line and into a grey area. Is this where people who build counterfeits congregate? Am I wandering into a “shop” section that includes exclusively cryptocurrency based transactions and missing serial numbers? We think in some ways these communities offer a more truthful peek into the reality of the internet.
