Talks
Den Planet einfach brennen lassen? [Burn, planet, burn – in German]
Talk and Discussion at the Digitale Gesellschaft Schweiz 2024 Winterkongress
How to shed gamified distraction and build sustainable movements While we are slurping the planets last resources many are oscillating between rage, panic, and despair. One dilemma is that we are living in a heavily connected world and therefore in a world of heavily connected problems. While technology can provide solutions for some problems, technical solutions are not universally applicable. At the moment many presented solutions like electronic cars are designed to save the industry, not the climate. Or they function as digital pacifiers for individuals: loads of cute and gamified distractions.
This talk faces the climate crisis by bunching together the planet, the financial and political systems, and societal problems. It will ask about power and responsibilities, and how economy, philosophy and ethics are intertwined with it. And it will draw from the experience of international social movements to glimpse at a sustainable future.
Macht 4.0: Einfluss und Kontrolle der Sozialen Medien [Power 4.0: Influence and Control of Social Media – in German but automatic subtitles are available]
Vortrag und Diskussion vom 28.02.2023 am D.A.I in Tübingen
Sogenannte „soziale“ Medien haben sich in den letzten Jahren zu Zentren von Meinungsbildung und -austausch entwickelt. Die Firmen, die hinter ihnen stehen, haben sich somit zu gigantischen neuen Machtzentren entwickelt, deren Einfluss ständig steigt. Der Kauf des Kurznachrichtendienstes Twitter durch Elon Musk veranschaulichte Auswirkungen dieser Entwicklung. Auch wenn global betrachtet unterschiedliche Anbieter aktiv sind, ist eines gleich: Es handelt sich um private Firmen ohne nennenswerte gesellschaftliche oder staatliche Kontrollen. Doch was bedeutet es für eine Gesellschaft, wenn in der Kommunikation des Privaten, des Politischen sowie des Wirtschaftlichen auf einige wenige Privatanbieter gesetzt wird?
