Would you take a lie-detector test in a room full of strangers? Watch on or be interrogated, as we seek out truth in a world of fake news and alternative facts. Using real biometric sensors and live voting systems, Truthmachine, is the multi award-winning social experiment from renowned techno-troublemakers Counterpilot. The polygraph machine used to be regarded as a legal instrument, but today we think we can cheat it... Let’s see if your heart-rate can lie as effectively as our leaders can. ‘No one else is making work quite like this’ **** (Age, Melbourne).
