What is truth and what is its role? Why do we pursue knowledge of it and claim to espouse it?

“To say of what is, that it is, or of what is not, that it is not, is true.” – Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Contemporary language operates in modes of enquiry and assertion, under the assumption that each statement is true.  This makes it frighteningly simple to take advantage of the gullible. Enter doubt, the defence-mechanism against malicious misinformation.  Tellingly, children do not know how to doubt until confronted with the violent destruction of trust caused by a demonstrable falsehood. Until that moment, a child presumes everything she is told to be true.  Certainly it is difficult to imagine how a child could survive if it were otherwise.

The exhibition is on view from 11 July - 21 September 2019 at AKG, London.

My boyfriend came back from the war (1996), Olia Lialina.

Una de las primeras aproximaciones netamente artísticas en contener creaciones en formato GIF. El conjunto fue realizado para presentarse en página web e incluye, de igual forma, imágenes y texto.

El vídeo, realizado para mostrar el contenido de la página, incluye una pieza musical no presentada en la obra original de Lialina.

Olia Lialina - Summer - 2013

Olia Lialina

Summer

2013

Olia Lialina’s Summer plays with the notion of time and distance. It presents and animation to the artist on a swing attached tot the top of the browser window, swinging back and forth from the address bar before a summery light blue background. The animation itself is comprised of 21 static Web pages hosted on different websites, each with one frame of the animation, switching in rapid succession to create the allusion of motion.

Olia Lialina’s playful use of the URL juxtaposes the concept of the Network Society with the Internet. Websites are interchangeable representations the places and people which own them; an idea explored by Heath Bunting in __readme.html (1998). As she swings, the website keeps redirecting, jumping from one page to another, to create the final animation. The artwork, thus, highlights how content is structured and linked online, as well as referencing the Internet as a disruptive social tool; in a similar fashion to her earlier work Agatha Appears (1997).

Another aspect of the work lies in the time taken in between frames, as Michael Connor points out in a piece of writing for Rhizome.org. The smoothness (or jerkiness) of the animation becomes depended on your connection speeds as well as distance between the viewer and the individual websites where the animation frames lie, reminding us of the Internet’s physical attributes, which is turn is reflected in the artwork’s synesthetic visual qualities.

Unlike the subjective moral properties (good, bad, etc.), we like to believe that truth is objective, and that it corresponds with the actual state of affairs in the world.  Before the information age, the only source of truth was authority, whether spiritual, scholastic or governing – one and the same for most of human history. Even publicly accessible libraries and archives are mediated by cultural self-selection and oftentimes authority of the state, especially under a totalitarian regime.  With the dawning of the information age came unprecedented access to knowledge, and with that access, doubt has engulfed humanity. It can be said that doubt is the herald of enquiry and thus the harbinger of truth. Without doubt, no progress towards truth can be made. So let us doubt for just a moment the notion of truth itself.  To believe something is ipso facto believing it to be true.  Each work in Quid est veritas? is intended as a provocation to self-examination.  The spectator is invited to doubt their belief system by inquiring into their own process of belief formation.

The exhibition is on view from 11 July - 21 September 2019 at AKG, London.
