Exposing Violence (häftad, eng)

How small groups and grassroots collectives can act for justice and leverage contemporary media to document violence.

Exposing Violence gathers, for the first time, new tendencies in contemporary media practices that engage in exposing the violence inflicted upon human beings and the environmentIt focuses on projects that emerged in the second and third decades of the twenty-first century as forms of socially engaged media activities initiated by independent groups of artists and researchers, interdisciplinary teams emerging at universities, and small laboratory groups.

Agnieszka Jelewska and Michał Krawczak propose an original analytical concept, the aesthetics of radical truth (AeRT), as a modus operandi to understand the specific nature of these projects situated at the intersection of art, science, activism, and engaged journalismTheir primary goal is the development of experimental, innovative, and collective forms of recording, revealing, tracing, identifying, and critically analyzing various manifestations of violence.

The book outlines the beginning of recent developments within “open justice,” including the creation of new digital archives and platforms that gather data on violence, interactive environments that facilitate new understanding through the emotional experience of evidence, and tools produced from the grass roots that allow for the tracking and disclosure of violenceThe authors also highlight strategies for resisting violence in a media-dense environment.
