About Fake it Real exhibition
We are facing an information crisis – overloaded, fragmental and unverifiable information pops up on our digital devices every day. Some claim we have entered a post-truth era, in which people are overwhelmed by fake news and experience the disappearance of objective standards for truth. Information selection is based less and less on experts and more on its potential for wide circulation. Since fake news spreads quicker than verified news, widespread fake news can carry persuasive power and thrive among algorithms based on popularity; the production of fake news is even carefully utilised by political parties and corporations to sway the public or maximise profits. The exhibition selects artists who deal with the representation of, resistance to, and reflection on the information crisis in the context of network capitalism and digital globalisation.
