In this exhibition for teenagers and adults, you can explore how social media and the internet have changed the way we read information and react to it. Find out about the new types of influencers, the new and old tactics they use, and the role we the users and consumers play within that.
What happens when we increasingly rely on social media and the internet for nearly all our information? What information do we see,and what do we miss? How do we know if a picture or a tweet is genuine or truthful? And what can we do if we aren’t sure?
Information travels quickly and easily, maybe too easily, and it reaches far and wide. From news feeds to influencers, the people and methods involved in producing, transferring and storing info and data have multiplied, not to mention the number of companies making big business out of it. All these factors can make it difficult to tell fact from fiction, which sources to trust and of which to be wary.
As users and consumers, we are no longer neutral or passive receivers of information. We can also be its main channels of distribution.
