Peter Weibel: From a Society of Proximity to a Tele-Society

... aus freier Lust ... verbunden ... / Einklang freier Wesen |
symposium & showcase


[10.04.2021]


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.
