More important than flagging things "really fake" is to understand
why they are dismissed as fake The new truth is the one that
circulates: digital truth emerges from lists, databases, archives,
and conditions of storage. Multiple truths may be activated through
search, link, and retrieve queries. Alexandra Juhasz, Ganaele
Langlois, and Nishant Shah respond by taking up story, poetry, and
other human logics of care, intelligence, and dignity to explore
sociotechnological and politico-aesthetic emergences in a world
where information overload has become a new ontology of
not-knowing. Their feminist digital methods allow considerations of
internet things through alternative networked internet time:
slowing down to see, honor, and engage with our past; invoking
indeterminacy as a human capacity that lets multiple truths
commingle on a page or in a body; and saving the truths of
ourselves and our others differently from the corporate internet's
perpetual viral movement. Writing across their own shared truisms,
actors, and touchstones, the authors propose creative tactics,
theoretical overtures, and experimental escape routes built to a
human scale as ways to regain our capacities to know and tell
truths about ourselves.
