Unit 3 Projection 2 – I

Reflection on audience engagement

After engaging in dialogue with the audience, I found that the project was limited to exploring the ways in which government intervention in the news
is presented in visual form, yet the substantive issue of the news being interfered with was not addressed. It may not be possible for individuals to influence the interventions of those in power, but historically radical press has always seen a small number of independent media outlets disseminating information through independent publishing. Therefore, if I want to publish news as an independent media outlet, how can I hide information in a publication to avoid censorship?

Line of enquiry

The government’s obfuscation, concealment and deletion of many truthful news items has led to their gradual disappearance from the Internet, and even blocked articles posted by informed people through their self-media accounts. The government’s interference in the dissemination of news has seriously affected the accuracy and truthfulness of news dissemination. When the truth of the news is hidden, accordingly fake news created by the government is created to fill this news section.

In a context where readers want real news from news stories, false news content is as meaningless as Lorem Ipsum. They only serve as a blank piece of textual filler and do not really serve the reader’s purpose. So, I have transformed a piece of fake news into Lorem Ipsum as a way of making a call for readers to think critically about the veracity of the news they consume.

Similarly my next plan is to print this fake news in the form of Lorem Ipsum on masks. The masks imply government control over the masses, like an invisible hand covering people’s mouths and not allowing them to make their voices heard. It also means that the source of information disseminated by the masses is restricted, and the only way to get information is from the words on the masks.
