-The Conflict Room: Problem Statement
• The Conflict Room is an interactive installation piece that explores the impact of biased media on the formation of public opinion, especially nations in conflict, and more specifically, Iran and the U.S.
• The mutual demonization of the two parties that succeeded the Iranian revolution of 1979 which resulted in a complete communication blackout between the two nations.
• Both the American and Iranian sides have come to build and reinforce their own stereotypes, consequently contributing to the tension.
• In a context where the media is the only channel to access information about the rival party, direct conversation between the citizens of the two nations appear to be an effective solution to resolve issues in a direct and independent manner.
