Step Inside Americas Media Landscape
Every night, in millions of kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms across America, different versions of the same story play out.
Media Diet is an immersive documentary project that rebuilds those rooms — and lets you walk through them.
We live in parallel realities.
Our media habits shape what we see, what we fear, and what we believe is true. But none of us experience the world alone — we experience it through the screens around us.
The Experience
Imagine walking from one American living room to another… Each one playing the same topic — immigration, climate, democracy — but through a completely different media lens. What you see in each space is familiar, but the meaning changes room to room.
Media Diet lets you inhabit these bubbles directly.
Why We're Building This
To understand each other, we need to understand what shapes us.
This project exposes the textures, rhythms, and emotional worlds behind our information diets.
It helps audiences see how realities diverge and where they still overlap. We’re launching the first installation in 2026, with a traveling version that can be hosted by museums, universities, and communities across the country.
