Tools for Fake News

Critical design exploration

Tools for Fake News is a design exploration that addresses the prevalence of misinformation in our daily lives, fueled by unmoderated, user-generated content and biased media. By presenting amplification, engagement, and reaction as everyday objects, the project reframes misinformation as easily accessible and casually consumed. It serves as an awareness tool for educational settings, making this abstract issue more tangible and understandable rather than merely providing a technical solution.

JURY STATEMENT
