The Emperors New Clothes
What is common knowledge? How is knowledge distributed and used by society? Is there such a thing as a free will? How much of what we know is true? Unwritten rules, taboos, hypocrisy, personal and collective decisions are based on knowledge and communication of information we either know or ignore. The function of all social groups is based on what they know and the information they receive and promote through a complex network of digital and personal communications.
George Vlassopoulos, Fiona Mouzakitis
