Next Steps: Post-Narrativity, Post-Truth (Post-Trump?) and Post-Digital Is Poetry
In these, our neo-digital times, the digitization of realist images challenge and corrupt long-standing structures of story and authenticity-making them more corporate, less creative, and thoroughly untrustworthy–leading to confusion, fear, and sometimes destruction but also, in response, feminist, queer, abolitionist, and anti-racist realist innovations. These neo-expressions of humanity by way of the computer, inter-connection, and art, take the documentary to previous (and new) forms… like poetry.
