Maybe the wisdom is exactly that, that a censored world will sound just like a non-censored world,
Well, in a censored world, when I lookup Paul Desmarais' links with Nicolas Sarkozy on CyberPresse, I can read it aloud like this : «404». This certainly sounds quite different from the article I originally read, which had ended up on the website by mistake. This «mistake» gave me a glimpse of what a noncensored world could be.
(OTOH, the way the local newspapers are gradually turning into blogs with near-realtime comments, it's getting harder for newspaper owners to oppose the flow of information, but that still depends on their customers' vigilance)
and one will not be able to percept that "something is missing",
There are usually omissions that are made in most any censorship job, especially because it's getting harder to control information, even though the tools that help finding what to censor are improving too. But it's true that given a nearly endless supply of « i'm just doing my job » pawns, a country can get pretty close.
Imagine you go home one day and some important things of yours have been stolen but you go on without noticing their absence, even with the time passing. Scary!
Now, will this cross the mind of any visitor of the exhibition ? _______________________________________________________________________ | Mathieu Bouchard ---- tél: +1.514.383.3801 ---- Villeray, Montréal, QC
