Title: Russian Troll Farm: A Workplace Comedy, Part 1
Venue and Format: Vimeo, Interactive
Innovation:Multiplatform with interactive projections.
At the infamous (real-life!) Internet Research Agency, professional internet trolls work for days at a time to influence American popular opinion, creating the illusion of consensus—or conflict. Russian Troll Farm imagines the daily lives of these workers as they invent characters, stage conflicts, and create conspiracies. What happens to your grasp on the truth when your whole job is lying? How does your identity shift when you impersonate Americans for a living?
