The Role of the Art in a Post-truth Society : The Visual Image in the Midst of the Crisis of the Veridiction Contract

Abstract

Post-truth describes the intentioned distortion of a reality to influence social attitudes, in which the appeals to emotions and personal beliefs prevail. How do this idea and this phenomenon affect visual art - and to what extent? Can artists take advantage of “emotional lies” to change the course of society led by the void of the post-truth?
