"Gęsicka has excavated these trap entries, giving them form and turning them into a book that appears credible, challenging the line between fact and fiction."
"'Encyclopaedia' is an attempt to consider how to function in today's world, where we are bombarded with fake news every day, and knowledge is neither constant nor certain."
"Some entries Gęsicka found could raise suspicion, while others could easily deceive careful readers, covering fake animals, invented historical events, and fictional characters."
Weronika Gęsicka's project presents a collection of fictitious entries from encyclopedias, illustrated with manipulated photographs and AI imagery. These 'trap entries' are false records designed to detect plagiarism. Gęsicka's work challenges the distinction between fact and fiction, raising questions about navigating information in a world filled with fake news. The project reflects on the nature of knowledge, emphasizing its fluidity and the rapid obsolescence of information in contemporary society.
