Virtual Cartoon Exhibition: SCHLEPPNETZ - Social Media und die fast wahren Fakten

The collection of 50 cartoons presents the ideas of 32 artists from 18 nations on freedom of expression and censorship in the world of social media channels. They shed light on the role of the individual in the midst of global social, political and cultural debates as well as in the reserve of very private groups. The works from around the world also deal with dating and the gathering of loyal followers by influencers who have long since turned their activities into a profitable business or are just constantly on the hunt for their self-affirmation - simply for fame.
Using the satirical and ironic mechanisms of their artistic genre, the artists in the virtual exhibition examine the concept of truth as the basis of a message. In doing so, they expose strategies of manipulation and propaganda for a wide variety of purposes. They deal with the phenomena of fake news, alternative facts and deepfakes in order to demagogically influence public opinion, but also with hate speech posts and shitstorms - and the possible consequences.
