Camera Never Lies?, The

Country Available: Canada, USA

1. The Camera Never Lies?: We used to believe photographs, but now they can be seamlessly altered by anyone who has the programs. How can we know fact from manipulation? We talk to those in the business of altering reality and those (Adbusters, Media Watch) who oppose it.

2. I Shot the Serif: What’s your favourite font is a question that only recently would be understood. Now almost everyone has an opinion! But is ‘how it looks’ increasingly overshadowing ‘what is says?’

3. Aboriginal Digital Initiatives: First Nations people are expressing themselves in their ancient language with the assistance of cutting edge software. We see the irony of preserving and passing on ancient culture with modern tools.
