Where Truth Lies

"Looking at a unique and intriguing set of 'hybrid media, ' Kris Fallon convincingly makes a claim about a change in the form of new media, one linking politics, aesthetics, and technology."--Alexandra Juhasz, Chair and Professor of Film, Brooklyn College, CUNY

"Where Truth Lies does the difficult and much-needed work of unpacking how the documentary impulse is shifting in the digital age, both through the profound influence of digital aesthetics and computational thinking on traditional documentary and through the ways traditional documentary is infusing digital expression. The trend--as Fallon so sharply identifies it--is about not just a change in tools, but an accompanying change in thinking."--Jennifer Malkowski, author of Dying in Full Detail: Mortality and Digital Documentary
