Online Version

In the light of the US election in 2016, its narratives of psychometric targeting and the recently (re)discovered Facebook data scandal on the one hand and accelerated populism via social media on the other, this publication deals with the question of the current state of the democratic and revolutionary potential of the Internet, as asserted by so many net activists in the 1990s.

It documents the event „Net Activism – Net Demagogy“ of ZKM | Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe Academy of Arts and Design (HfG), which took place at ZKM | Karlsruhe in 2017
