The Murder of Jo Cox / Supergraph: Thomas Hoch (AT) and Waiwai (HK)
Dazzled by the hyperreality of digital journalism we may find ourselves questioning the possibility of truth among contradictory narratives and sensations. British MP Jo Cox’s death in June 2016 has represented such a scenario most archetypally with an extraordinary display of media bias provided by the so-called left and right, from national newspapers to independent media.
In this work, the artists aim to create a user-experience of robotic journalism. Audiences can map out and generate news using artificial intelligence and data mined from a range of UK media online by using a mixer interface. The result will be displayed in an installation composed of data visualization, a ticker and research material.
