What will happen in your session?
At this session, we will have the best social network experts, the best photoshoppers [[citation_needed]] and the amazing troll-fighters from Brazil [1] to create YOUR OWN FAKE NEWS CAMPAIGN.
In this session, we will have pre-determined themes and motifs of hate speech and destruction, so people can:
As logic and dialogue are completely absent, we will create the fake news ads based on a bingo system, pretty much like cards against humanity.
[1] - She was the only moderator of yahoo answers for Brazil. For a month, it had more visitors in Brazil than the entire Wikimedia sites.
*[[citation_needed]]. Warranty void. Caveat Emptor.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
To educate people on how easy it is to create hate speech and misdirection. And how it is impossible to fight fake news using its tools. Memes are pretty much an instrument of destruction, not of construction.
It's impossible to have dialogue with fascism.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
We will need some stationery. We will probably buy them in Brazil to get everything ready before. We don't think that will be very expensive. (Less than 50 GBP probably, DEFINITELY less than 100 GBP)
Time needed
All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session
