In a not-too-distant future, humanity lives in a post-truth world. The proliferation of Fake News and Deep Fake tools used in political campaigns create a fractured, dystopian reality where it is hard to distinguish what is real and what is not.
The exposition is inspired by the augmented reality game Escape Fake, where we play with these questions by creating the character Hannah, a quantum reality hacker, who tries to fix a broken future by preventing fake news from escalating at certain moments in time.
The Museum of Fake is placed in Hannah’s dystopian future. It is a dialogue between the interactive augmented reality experience and the artistic works that tackle the topic of disinformation from diverse and, sometimes, contradictory angles. In the Museum of Fake, visitors can look back at the year 2023, and reflect on the significance of historic events, technological change, or empathic communication for the trajectory of journalism and disinformation.
