Illuminated Lies

Medea, a new live event and multimedia company, committed to purpose-driven work, is thrilled to announce the launch of "Illuminated Lies," an innovative audio-visual art installation debuting at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Transforming a classic black taxi into an interactive exploration of the pervasive effects of disinformation, this project combines storytelling, art, and technology to provoke thought and conversation.

"Illuminated Lies" delves into the complex web of fake news, misinformed beliefs, and disinformation, presenting poignant true stories and reflections from individuals across the globe. Each narrative serves as a testament to the real-world impact of falsehoods, challenging audiences to rethink their perceptions and the information they consume.

Housed within a transformed black taxi, "Illuminated Lies" offers a unique and immersive experience. Visitors can engage with the installation anytime between 5 PM and midnight, where they'll be guided through a series of narratives that shed light on the lies infiltrating our society. For those seeking a deeper experience, limited interactive performances are available for up to five people inside the taxi. These intimate 20-minute sessions allow participants to engage directly with the taxi driver and explore themes such as misinformation, fake news, AI, deep fakes, algorithms, and the attention economy.
