Art plays an important role in bringing new perspectives to key issues. Rhizome’s contemporary artists reflect on the nature of disinformation—and how we might creatively subvert it.
Explore the experimental technologies, research, and creative approaches from Jigsaw and our partners highlighting disinformation online.
In this project, Ryan Kuo presents Baby Faith: a young and naïve web-based chat bot struggling to learn how to identify human emotion. Baby Faith’s difficulties in identifying emotion online mirror the challenges of emotionally-driven disinformation campaigns, where, for example, fake claims spark emotional responses. Baby Faith suggests that online emotions should not be taken at face value—by chat bots or humans—and that applying a critical lens to interactions can build societal resistance against disinformation.
With Chorus, Constant Dullaart adapted a monologue from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" as a musical sonnet that evokes the exhaustion in dealing with social media disinformation and propaganda. A crowdsourced chorus singing the lyrics accompanies the poem.
