PREVIEW Behind The Curtain
The propaganda of North Korea
Behind the Curtain is an ongoing multimedia project that is divided into multiple downloaded volumes. Our purpose for the project is to gather, examine and present an explanation of the North Korean regime’s propaganda. Over successive trips into each province of the country, Behind the Curtain has smuggled monitoring and recording equipment to capture and analyse the propaganda and broadcast media used by the North Korean regime as a prime instrument of control over the population.
Preview Behind the Curtain allows select content from the complete project to be sampled in one single download. Preview Behind the Curtain on the iPad and Apple Mac computers offers a immersive full-screen experience of interactive diagrams, photos, audio and video.
