Net Activism – Net Demagogy | Discussion forum Discussion forum with Florian Cramer, Daniel Irrgang, Matteo Pasquinelli, Vesselin Popov, Peter Weibel and Siegried Zielinski Wed, 12.04.2017 ZKM_Lecture Hall In his analysis of western societies, media philosopher Vilém Flusser described a structural transitional phenomenon at the beginning of the 1980s: The mass-media power relations and their rigid opinion channels towards the public were in the process of being dissolved. On the horizon, a net company was emerging, in which dialog between equals establish an individual consensus. Along the way, however, »fascist cross connections« had to be confronted – attempts by mighty nodules in the net (Alexander Galloway) to control the net dialog to suit their own interests. Today, about 30 years later, the hopes of many net activists of the 1990s to set up egalitarian societies through the internet are replaced by disillusion. The networked media have long since taken up systemic characters (Siegfried Zielinski). In their extreme cases, they facilitate platforms for demagogic initiatives such as right-wing alt-right movement and their mouthpiece, the extreme right US news website Breitbart. In Germany, Pegida and groups of translocal hatred significantly organize themselves through social networks. However, the fascist cross connections make a particular impact beneath the surface of our screens: It’s not just since the NSA scandals and the predicative analytics and microtargeting initiatives in the US elections that it has become apparent how persuasive communication strategies can be further optimized by evaluating user behavior. Followed by Vesselin Popov' s lecture about the risks and opportunities of Big Data, Peter Weibel and Siegfried Zielinski will be discussing the current situation with guests and the audience in an open forum. /// Podiumsdiskussion mit Florian Cramer, Daniel Irrgang, Matteo Pasquinelli, Vesselin Popov, Peter Weibel und Siegried Zielinski Mi, 12.04.2017 ZKM_Vortragssaal In seiner Analyse der westlichen Gesellschaften beschrieb der Medienphilosoph Vilém Flusser Anfang der 1980er Jahre ein strukturelles Übergangsphänomen: Die massenmedialen Machtverhältnisse und ihre starren Meinungskanäle in Richtung Publikum seien in Auflösung begriffen. Am Horizont zeichne sich eine Netzgesellschaft ab, in der Dialoge zwischen Gleichberechtigten individuellen Konsens herbeiführen. Auf dem Weg dorthin müsse man sich jedoch »faschistischen Querschaltungen« stellen – Versuche von mächtigen Knoten im Netz (Alexander Galloway), den Netzdialog nach eigenen Interessen zu steuern. Heute, etwa 30 Jahre später, sind die Hoffnungen vieler Netz-AktivistInnen der 1990er Jahre, egalitäre Gesellschaften mit dem Umweg über das Internet einzurichten, der Enttäuschung gewichen. Die vernetzten Medien haben längst systemischen Charakter eingenommen (Siegfried Zielinski). In ihren extremen Fällen ermöglichen sie Plattformen für demagogische Initiativen wie der rechtsextremistischen Alt-Right-Bewegung und deren Sprachrohr, die am äußersten rechten Rand stehende US-News-Website Breitbart. In Deutschland organisieren sich Pegida und Gruppen translokalen Hasses maßgeblich über soziale Netzwerke. Die faschistischen Querschaltungen zeigen ihre Wirkungen aber vor allem unter den Oberflächen unserer Bildschirme: Nicht erst seit den NSA-Skandalen und den Predictive-Analytics- bzw. Microtargeting-Initiativen in den US-Wahlen zeichnet sich ab, wie persuasive Kommunikationsstrategien anhand des Auswertens von Nutzerverhalten weiter optimiert werden können. Im Rahmen einer Podiumsdiskussion werden Peter Weibel und Siegfried Zielinski mit verschiedenen Gästen und der Öffentlichkeit über die aktuellen Zustände diskutieren.

A Discussion with Alexander Galloway, Ian James, and John Ó Maoilearca: Many philosophies claim to be practical: performativity, praxis, practice-based thought, truth procedures and enquiries, and even artistic performance have each been connected to various philosophical positions. So what, if anything, makes François Laruelle’s Non-Standard Philosophy different? ‘What Can We Do With Non-Philosophy?’ brings together three … Continue reading What Can We Do With Non-Philosophy?

What can the notion of "excommunication" contribute to our thoughts about communication, theology and God? What does the God talked about by Jesus have to do with excommunication? Books referred to in this episode include Excommunication: Three Inquiries Into Media by Alexander Galloway, Eugene Thacker and Mackenzie Wark, Phaedrus by Plato, Twelve Chapters on the Faith (supposedly by Gregory Thaumaturgus/Neocaesarea). Zizek’s Jokes by Slavoj Zizek. Hughes Mearns's poem Atagonish also makes an entrance at some point.
