Artists, ensembles and promoters discuss digital music experience and showcase a global cooperation project.
»The new era has begun. [...] Culture is becoming an online paradise,« Peter Weibel stated in his essay »Virus, Virality, Virtuality«. Based on his theory of a telesociety (»Ferngesellschaft«), representatives of international ensembles, the ZKM | Karlsruhe, and promoters discuss the limits and opportunities of the digital music experience and present the cooperative project »einklang freier wesen« – an interactive audio interface that enables one to experience an ensemble work by Georg Friedrich Haas online.
The project will not only explore the possibilities for music reception created by new technologies and what these imply for analog music, but also the extent to which the telesociety in general represents a desirable utopia and whether the digital space offers an opportunity for the diversification of audiences, artists, and aesthetic positions.
The event is held in English.
Experience the work in the interactive app!
You can take an exploratory journey through the work via the digital audiointerface, which lets you give the soloists of the five ensembles a voice, place them in space and choose the constellation. This makes the global interaction actively tangible and the musical experience interactive.
The app will be launched at the next event date.

| 6.45–8.15 pm | … aus freier Lust … verbunden …? Opportunities and challenges of digital music experience In this round table, moderated by Martina Seeber, the possibilities of digital music experience and its impact on society will be discussed. The discussion will focus on the extent to which the tele-society is a utopia worth striving for. Which reception possibilities of music are created by new technologies and to what extent do these potentials destroy or expand the original analog version of music. Furthermore, the question of whether the digital space offers an opportunity for the diversification of audiences, artists and aesthetic positions will be explored. Can social visions be realized more easily within a technological renewal?
