As post-truth becomes more prevalent, Niice Studio has created TOTEM, a conceptual device that navigates media misinformation. Rather than functioning as a direct fact-checker, TOTEM acts as a barometer, indicating shifts in media content quality through tactile, sensory feedback. It evaluates media inputs, generating insights about the reliability of news through daily printed discs. Through visual placeholders, it makes users aware of unreliable elements in the content, fostering a more nuanced engagement with media in today's complex landscape.
I thought that whatever is put out on legitimate media is "the truth". However, I learned how mass media often veils agenda setting and disinformation.
Niice Studio's TOTEM doesn't just fact-check; it acts as a barometer for media volatility, translating information patterns into tactile, sensory signals.
TOTEM uses visual placeholders or redactions to subtly indicate unreliable media elements, allowing users to engage with content while being aware of potential falsehoods.
TO1 visualizes insights through daily printed discs representing the reliability of news, while TO2 provides physical alerts in response to detected misinformation.
