What happens when we increasingly rely on social media and the web 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 can’t be sure?
Whether it’s through a Twitter bot or a deep fake, we are all surrounded by high frequency information impulses, often not visible to us. As users and consumers of online content, we are no longer neutral or passive receivers of information. We can also be its main channels of distribution and proliferation.
At any age we need to be aware of the way that information that is incorrect and sometimes misleading can be shared and amplified by the tools we use.
Presentation as part of the Digital Detox project presented by MUTEK Forum:
Looking at essential issues like digital well-being, data collection, and ecological impacts of technologies, one of the program’s focal points will be delivered by the German collective Tactical Tech.
Digital Detox is a new public education and exhibition project, offered by
MUTEK to reinforce
MUTEK Forum’s positioning as an opportunity to critically reflect on our life with technology.
