Capture the Truth
Supervisor: Adam Pustola
Due to changes in information structure and economic uncertainty, we have entered the post-truth era, where people appeal to emotions and beliefs rather than facts. False information and unfounded conspiracy theories are rampant, and critical thinking is easily overwhelmed by a flood of opinions and primitive emotions.
This project is about truth and untruth and it aims to introduce a moment of reflection for the public by rebuilding the State Library of Victoria, and encourage people to see the world with reasoning and critical thinking, then 'by doubting we are led to question, by questioning we arrive at the truth'.
