The Glass Room and another Reality Check go to North Vancouver

OpenMedia brings the Glass Room exhibit and the Reality Check panel discussion to Surrey to explore real-life examples of how misinformation has shifted public opinion, created barriers to essential services and what can we do about it.

In today's climate, where democracy faces serious challenges and misinformation has infiltrated almost all communication platforms, The Glass Room serves as a timely and powerful tool. Starting in December of 2025, OpenMedia has been sharing Tactical Tech’s Glass Room exhibit with community members in British Columbia (BC), aiming to spark conversation about the impact of misinformation and data mining in Canada and around the world.

The exhibition explores the hidden aspects of our digital lives: how technology shapes public opinion,  how data is collected and used, and how misinformation spreads. It empowers visitors to recognize false or misleading information, and take actionable steps to protect their digital privacy. The Glass Room has already appeared in 71 cities worldwide — including Berlin, London, San Francisco, New York, and Toronto — and has now arrived in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
