An innovative audio-visual art installation which debuted at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe. Transforming a classic black taxi into an interactive exploration of the pervasive effects of disinformation, this project combined storytelling, art, and technology to provoke thought and conversation.

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

Housed within a transformed black taxi, Illuminated Lies offered a unique and immersive experience. Visitors could engage with the installation, where they were guided through a series of narratives that shed light on the lies infiltrating our society. For those seeking a deeper experience, limited interactive performances for up to five people took place inside the taxi. These intimate sessions allowed participants to engage directly with the taxi driver and explore themes such as misinformation, fake news, AI, deep fakes, algorithms, and the attention economy.
