KNOWLEDGE

WHAT IS (NON)KNOWLEDGE

"Non-knowledge can be regarded as factual absence of knowledge, as a conscious or non-conscious state of not knowing something."

Bernard, Andreas, Armin Beverungen, Irina Kaldrack, Martina Leeker e Sascha Simons (eds). 2018. Non-Knowledge and Digital Cultures. Lüneburg: Meson press.

INFORMATION

KNOWLEDGE DISTRIBUTION

“The Internet is the first system to challenge the traditional distribution networks that control so much of our lives.”

Clemens, Justin. 2018. The paradox of dissemination. Distributed, David Blamey & Brad Haylock (eds.), 226-238. Londres: Open Editions.

THE CIRCULATION OF KNOWLEDGE

“Today’s use of social media provides fertile ground for the hasty circulation of unverified stories with great capacity to harm, expose, exclude, and dispossess.”

Ezcurra, Mara Polgovsky. 2018. Reality Machines: An Art Exhibition on Post-Truth. Tecolotl Press Mexico.

TRUTH

THE POST-TRUTH PHENOMENON

“The “post-truth phenomenon”, however, is not only fuelled by lowtech and intimate creativity, but also by technologically sophisticated and politically driven techniques of image creation, alteration, and destruction.”

Ezcurra, Mara Polgovsky. 2018. Reality Machines: An Art Exhibition on Post-Truth. Tecolotl Press Mexico.

DIFFERENT BELIEFS

“In the world of media, what is at stake is not the truth but rather the truth-effects produced by fictions.”

Ezcurra, Mara Polgovsky. 2018. Reality Machines: An Art Exhibition on Post-Truth. Tecolotl Press Mexico.

FACTS

VARIOUS PERCEPTIONS

“If reality and simulation are becoming entangled in new and profoundly disorientating ways, it is because technologies are increasingly able to simulate “the full ensemble of sense data that make up real experience”.”
