The neo-right poisoned the wells of common truth by pronouncing their unshakeable faith in truths only they believe. This book argues that the only truths possible in the 21st century are mobile, inventive practices involving everything fascist models of communication exclude: technologies, nature, and leftover humanity. Tracing histories of their separation, Truth analyzes the struggle between information systems and the sensory worlds they exclude, not least the ancestral wisdom that the West has imprisoned in its technologies. Truth opposes the cybernetic division of the world between subjects and objects, signals and noise. There can be no return to some primal Eden: these divisions, which have fundamentally reorganized the cultural, economic, technical and ecological worlds they inherited, are the historical conditions we must confront. Drawing on a wide range of aesthetic practices from literature, film, art, music, workplace media, scientific instruments, and animal displays, Truth seeks out ways to create a new commons and a decolonial politics grounded in aesthetic properties of creativity, senses and perception that can no longer be restricted to humans alone.
