Dubious Views is a bilingual online exhibition funded by the Virtual Museum Project of Canada, and produced by Gallery TPW.

Every time you open your eyes, a hundred different sources vie for your attention. This spectacle – the cacophonous accumulation of images superimposed over the “real” world – is built by everything from advertisements to entertainment to government. This institutional view of the world can come to stand in for and suppress any other visions or versions that might be out there.

The two sections of the online exhibition deal with representations of place as seen through the filters of tourism, surveillance, and mapping. It is accessible in several formats from the Gallery TPW website.
