The Sprawl: Propaganda about Propaganda plot

This documentary by Dutch design and research studio Metahaven eloquently argues that the internet has become a disruptive geopolitical superweapon. “The Sprawl” is potent propaganda about propaganda, a continuous digital scream and a paranoid trip of ones and zeros rolled into one. The internet isn't just for cat videos and bite-sized chunks of digital democracy. In fact, these media expressions only seem to distract us from more urgent matters. With “The Sprawl (Propaganda About Propaganda)” the Dutch digital design collective Metahaven asks pressing questions about the internet that few others dare to ask. Who benefits from social media? Does Adobe software promote an ideology? Does the Internet Facilitate Aesthetic Terrorism?
