Explore how misinformation shapes our digital world!
Step inside The Glass Room: Misinformation Edition – a physical and virtual exhibition that pulls back the curtain on the hidden systems shaping how we consume information online. Through interactive apps, animations, and powerful visual displays, the exhibit reveals how data, algorithms, and platform design influence what we see, what we trust, and how misinformation spreads.
Coming up: A special public panel on December 11
As part of the exhibition, we’re hosting a panel that brings together experts to unpack today’s misinformation landscape and what’s at stake for Canadians navigating an increasingly algorithm-driven information environment.
Information has never moved faster or been harder to trust. How are Canadians experiencing this moment? What role do algorithms and platforms play in amplifying misinformation? And what can individuals, communities, and institutions do to respond?
Join us for this timely and practical conversation.
