BREAKING NEWS 24/7
An interactive news cycle makes you question what is real and what is fake. The goal of this project is to spark conversations regarding the problematic fake news issue nowadays.
Take a look at the installation video:
Breaking News 24/7 was created by a team including myself, Hau Yuan, Nathier Fernandez and Jiyao Zhang for our interactive Pop-Up Windows Display class at ITP taught by Gabe Barcia-Colombo, in collaboration with NYU Kimmel Centre.

In this project, we designed the whole window as a giant TV screen displaying problematic and controversial news we found on the Internet. The newscaster, the iconic and most appealing element of our project, is a Pinocchio, who is notably characterized for his frequent tendency to lie, which causes his nose to grow. We borrowed this concept from a nearly universal cultural icon to symbolize "lie."
