Now Open: 'The Misinformation Edition' Exhibit

Now Open: 'The Misinformation Edition' Exhibit
by Stefka Hristova, Humanities

The "Glass Room: Misinformation Edition" exhibit is on display at the Van Pelt and Opie Library today (Oct. 25) through Nov. 21.

The exhibit explores how social media and the web have changed the way we read information and react to it. It exposes new types of influencers, the new and old tactics they use, and the role we as the users and consumers play in the way information flows and changes within that flow. It also examines the relationships between personal data, targeting and opinions, views and behaviors, and the business models behind them.

This exhibit is part of the Bad Information Project, which is made possible in part by a grant from the Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by funding from the Department of Humanities.
