Title of exhibition

I have been using the work translation to define my chosen theme/concept for my fantasy exhibition but \i really need to think of a title before I can make a poster so here are a few bulletpoints to describe the concept and what I want the title to describe

- untrustworthy, subjective nature of perspective
- powerful influence of media in modern societies
- manipulation and distortion of message (as it is translated from one person to another, from one media to another)
- Transfer and translation of media

Through the looking glass
In the eye of the beholder

I think that these two phrase both fittingly describe the subjective nature of perspective. Depending upon your experiences and from where you are looking your opinion changes.

Chinese Whispers

I'm not sure that I actually like this as a title for an exhibition (a little cheesy) but it clearly illustrates the distortion and manipulation of imagery and its purpose/message once it is handled by the media. An example of this would be different newspapers will twist stories in accordance with their political and social interests.
