About:
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.
