Jonas Staal: Propaganda Art in the 21st Century (Machine Listening)
Terms such as \u201cfake news\u201d and \u201calternative facts\u201d have become common vocabulary in the so-called post-truth era. But there is a sense in which these are just contemporary iterations of a familiar phenomenon: propaganda. Propaganda is not merely concerned with sending messages \u2013 its aim is to construct reality as such. In this episode visual artist Jonas Staal elaborates on what he describes as today\u2019s arena of the propaganda (art) struggle.\n\nhttps://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/jonas-staal-propaganda-art-in-the-21st-century\nJonas Staal: Propaganda Art in the 20th Century (Machine Listening)\n\nMachine Listening\n17 February, 2020\nMelbourne Law School, Carlton\nPresented by Melbourne Law School, Curatorial Practice at Monash University and Liquid Architecture.\n\nAudio: Mara Schwerdtfeger\nImage: Jonas Staal\n\nFinancial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
