Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst exposing the language and power of 'news & media'.

Faith in Exposure shows artists, activists and visual researchers engaged in different ways with the language and power of 'news media'. It's a project in which artists 'talk back' to the news media.

David Garcia (curator): The exhibition adresses the general narrative of western democracy our 'faith in exposure', the unquestioning bleif that the circulation of knowledge through news media (and other means) constrains the powerful and guarantees democracy. In a world where we may know but are still compelled to obey, this exhibition and accopanying seminar wil ask whether it is still tenable to believe n the central myth of the information age that knowing the truth shal make us free."
