Most media still refer to coding in terms of mathematical and logic analogies: the \u201chidden\u201d is much more powerful than the \u201cvisible\u201d. In coding, the realm between fiction and materiality is lost and therefore TRUTH is lost as well. Because truth can only be established in public, on common ground among humans in their form of zoon politikon as Hannah Arendt again would add: \u201cWherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.\u201d laStaempfli would say: \u201cWherever the relevance of codes is at stake, matters become political by definition, for codes are what make humans political beings nowadays.\u201d The Platforms or the \u201cBig Nines\u201d as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amywebb.io\/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amy Webb<\/a>&nbsp;would put it, deprive us of alternatives.

Regula Staempfli invites you on a rather extraordinary tour on ambivalence, diversity and Truth in the age of digital reproduction.
