The Auditory Act. Sound Lecture by Jan St. Werner (28.9.2020, 17:30)
We are taught that sound is the tweets of the birds, the beating of our hearts, the noise of a construction site.
That it is anything we can measure with a db meter or catch with our ears.
With the decay of the utopia of an educated civic society and the hyper speed rise of intelligent technologies we are confronted with new concepts and strategies of how our very perceptional system is constructed.
Sound reveals itself as a manifold sensation, a complex interplay of auditory apparatus, cognitive computational system and always changing external input.
Because of the mutability of these three components, sound is an act we are challenged to interfere with.
„The Illusion of a Crowd“ by Clemens von Wedemeyer (01.10.2020, 17:30)
A talk about digital hordes and physical ones, in the sense of an impulsive collective of immaterial and affected bodies, as a menace and as sources of solidarity. What happens when they grow exponentially? How can their behavior be predicted, and what are their effects on the individual? “The crowd not only acts upon the human being who is inside it and exposed to it, its agency within him persists when he is alone and isolated, and its effect on him is sometimes strongest in his greatest isolation.” (Elias Canetti).
