Lectures and discussion Daniel Tyradellis, Adam Harper, Katrin Rönicke 

The seemingly excessive simultaneity of Net cultures, the exorbitant and ever-increasing density of information, and the apparent ubiquitous availability of subject matter and knowledge all create the impression that everything is merely eclectic or consumeristic. If one puts one’s trust in the “ticklish subject” however, and in the new vectors s/he introduces, idiosyncrasy once again gains authority in the temporal mode of synchronicity. An unrestrained creative and ludic approach to ubiquity then becomes possible, for one is open to unexpected synergies. Such a Golden Age is then not a final condition, but a permanent process. One banks then on merry encouragement, on putting the singular inventories of diverse individuals on stage, in new public laboratories. This has implications for novel forms of knowledge, political action and artistic practice. But should one even address these fields in isolation from one another? What does an exhibition sound like today? In which spaces is infinite music played? How much gender awareness is necessary for a planet to really get into swing? How do things stand with this cheerful syncretism now at work here? And why on earth should anyone imagine that innovative, adventurous enterprise and fleet-footed insouciance are mutually exclusive?
