Die Quizshow „Wer wird Millionär“ bringt dem Sender RTL seit 25 Jahren respektable Einschaltquoten, nicht zuletzt dank Moderator Günther Jauch, der ebenfalls seit der ersten Sendung dabei ist – und einem offenbar unverwüstlichen Spielkonzept. Worin liegt das Geheimnis dieses Erfolgs? Wie hat der frühe „WWM“-Boom das deutsche Fernsehen geprägt? Welche Rolle spielen überhaupt Quizsendungen in der TV-Geschichte? Und was fasziniert uns Zuschauer am spielerischen Duell zwischen dem Showmaster und seinen mehr oder weniger schlauen Kandidaten? Bernd Lechler diskutiert mit Dr. Gerd Hallenberger - freier Medienwissenschaftler, Prof. Dr. Jens Junge - Ludologe, Berlin University of Applied Sciences, Dr. Christian Richter - Medien- und Fernsehwissenschaftler, Autor

Secession Podcast: Members is a series of conversations featuring members of the Secession. This episode is a conversation between the member Thomas Feuerstein and the artist Lucie Strecker. It was recorded on February 17, 2024.   Thomas Feuerstein is a visual artist. His oeuvre encompasses sprawling installations, process-based sculptures, drawings, audio plays, and biological and internet art. Central concerns include the conjunction of linguistic, visual, and material elements, the uncovering of latent superimpositions of fact and fiction, and the nexus between art and science. Feuerstein's method of “conceptual narration” interweaves art, architecture, philosophy, literature, and philosophy with economics, politics, and technology. Since the mid-1990s, he has harnessed biotechnologies and artificial neuronal networks to create projects that examine the interplay between individuality and sociality, an aesthetics of entropy, and a cybernetic “daimonology” of cultural processes.   Lucie Strecker's trans-media practice investigates experimental systems in art and the sciences, exploring a post-anthropocentric conception of performativity. Her work has been shown at festivals and galleries and in museums. She is a fellow at the Berlin University of the Arts and a founding member of the Applied Performance Lab at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where she has led artistic research projects since 2016 and taught performance art in the Art and Communication Practices division since 2020.   The Dorotheum is the exclusive sponsor of the Secession Podcast.   Jingle: Hui Ye with an excerpt from Combat of dreams for string quartet and audio feed (2016, Christine Lavant Quartett) by Alexander J.

In this bold and provocative new book, Blackness as a Universal Claim: Holocaust Heritage, Noncitizen Futures, and Black Power in Berlin (University of California Press, 2023), Damani Partridge examines the possibilities and limits for a universalized Black politics. German youth of Turkish, Arab, and African descent use claims of Blackness to hold states and other institutions accountable for racism today. Partridge tracks how these young people take on the expressions of Black Power, acting out the scene from the 1968 Olympics, proclaiming "I am Malcolm X," expressing mutual struggle with Muhammad Ali and Spike Lee, and standing with raised and clenched fists next to Angela Davis. Partridge also documents public school teachers, federal program leaders, and politicians demanding that young immigrants account for the global persistence of anti-Semitism as part of the German state's commitment to anti-genocidal education. He uses these stories to interrogate the relationships between European Enlightenment, Holocaust memory, and Black futures, showing how noncitizens work to reshape their everyday lives. In doing so, he demonstrates how Blackness is a concept that energizes, inspires, and makes possible participation beyond national belonging for immigrants, refugees, Black people, and other People of Color. Damani J. Partridge is Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan.  Reighan Gillam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

"Punk is more an attitude than a style of music. And I think that techno is way more punk than punk." The Spanish DJ discusses the ethos of the underground, vinyl DJing and more on this week's Exchange from AVA Festival. Héctor Oaks relocated from his hometown of Madrid to study at "Berlin University"—the clubs, record stores and underground parties that would shape his career as an artist. After once famously saying he could "live in peace" if he could play Berghain just once, the techno DJ has since graced the institution's dance floor multiple times and earned residencies at Herrensauna and Bassiani. Now one of a handful of in-demand, vinyl-only DJs, he's also a prolific artist and the head of two labels, KAOS and OAKS. What makes Oaks especially interesting as an interview subject, though, isn't his newfound popularity, but the underlying ethos that drives his music career. A self-described "techno punk," he reflects on what happens to the punk ethos around the underground once the underground becomes mainstream. "When you see that you've worked for the underground and then the underground becomes pop, do you want to fight against it, or do you want to be part of it?" he asks. "We're not only carrying the music, but we're carrying the values." In this interview, Oaks also talks about the art of playing vinyl, his new hip-hop project, working for the now-defunct Record Loft and his forthcoming album and live show. Listen to the episode in full.

What used to take artists hours can be wrapped up in a matter of seconds with artificial intelligence. At the Berlin University of the Arts, students learn about "Artificial Creativity" — and the opportunities and risks attached to current digital technologies.

Gábor Tarkövi is one of the most revered and respected trumpet players of his generation. He began his career as co-principal trumpet with the  Württemberg Philharmonic, then was principal trumpet of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, followed by principal trumpet with the Bayern Radio Symphony Orchestra. Finally, from 2004-2019 he was principal trumpet with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In addition to his solo and chamber music appearances around the world, he is Professor of Trumpet at the Berlin University of the Arts.In order to find out more about the mindset of such a great orchestral musician, I ask Gábor about how he approaches four of the main excerpts in the orchestral literature for trumpet... the openings for both the Mahler Fifth Symphony and Mussorgsky/Ravel's Pictures at an Exhibition, the Ballerina's Dance from Petroushka, and Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. We end part one with a discussion of the Berlin Philharmonic's Digital Concert Hall, and how he deals with nerves for those broadcast concerts.

Our guest this week is Michael Kliger, CEO of Mytheresa, the fast-growing global e-commerce destination for luxury fashion---and one of only a handful of retail "disruptor" brands that actually makes money.With Steve facing technical issues, our interview segment turns out to be a duet of Michael's, who explore the current state of the international luxury market and what makes Mytheresa truly remarkable within it. We learn about Mytheresa's rapid evolution since its founding in 2006, and get a glimpse into how an intense focus on the customer--characterized by curation, personalization, and localization--has fueled their success. We also go deep on how Michael thinks about "acquiring the right customers" and the magic formula that is essential to driving strong customer lifetime value. We close with a discussion of sustainability in the fashion world and the importance of story-telling and making memorable emotional connections with customers.But first we open with our hot-takes on the past week in retail news, including what it means to live in a VUCA world and why our season opening admonition to "buckle-up buttercup" almost makes us retail prophets. We also try to make sense of the blockbuster Kroger and Albertson's merger, TikTok's rumored entry into e-commerce, and the latest results from Steve's old employer (and MyTheresa's former corporate parent), Neiman Marcus.We close by highlighting strong results from fast-growing Aritzia--one of the OG's of DTC--while wondering aloud whether Vuori--part of the newer generation--can successfully expand globally.  About MichaelMr. Kliger has served as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our Management Board since September 2020.

In this episode Claudia talks to musicologist Martin Ullrich about animals and music. Together they touch on the multiple ways in which music and animals intersect from how animals inspire human music, to how animals make and listen to music, and the ethics of more-than-human musical encounters. They find that the focus on animals and music destabilizes anthropocentric understandings of both culture and aesthetics. Date Recorded: 15 December 2021 Martin Ullrich studied piano in Frankfurt and Berlin as well as music theory in Berlin too. He received his PhD in musicology in 2005. His main research area is sound and music in the context of more-than-human aesthetics (nonhuman animals and music, artificial intelligence and music), with an emphasis on human-animal studies. He has presented and chaired at international conferences and has published on animal music and the relationship between animal sounds and human music. Martin was a professor for music theory at Berlin University of the Arts from 2005 to 2009 and the president of Nuremberg University of Music from 2009 to 2017. Since 2017, he has worked as a professor for interdisciplinary musicology and human-animal studies at Nuremberg University of Music.

In this dialogue I speak to Dr Alex Arteaga, a leading European artist-researcher who works with text, sound, video, photography, essays and installations according to the nature of his projects and their specific research issues. Alex has received professional degrees in piano and theory of music, has a Masters degree in electro-accoustic music. He studied architecture at Berlin University of the Arts and obtained a PhD in philosophy at Humboldt University Berlin. He is currently teaching courses at the Berlin University of the Arts (at the MA Sound Studies and Sonic Arts), film university of Catalonia (ESCAC) and the graduate school of the University of Lapland. As a researcher, he's connected to the University of Applied Arts Vienna In the dialogue we discuss how Alex's complex background led him into the realm of artistic research and his sense of how artistic research has been taken up across Europe. We look closely at Alex's major projects: the Auditory Research Unit at the Berlin University of the Arts  and the relationship between the auditory and the visual in architectural thinking; the Architecture of Embodiment and Alex's non-hierarchical approach to the structure and methodology of the research; and his collaboration with the Austrian media artist Nikolaus Gansterer exploring concepts such as the "presence of situations" in Contingent Agencies. We also engage with the more provocative aspects of Alex's thinking such as his insistence that "aesthetic research" should be distinguished from "artistic research". We cover his involvement in the new African-European collaborative project, Artistic Research and City Spaces which is linking The Wits Schools of Art and Architecture and Planning with a range of different artistic research initiatives in Europe. Finally we discuss Alex's critique of the notion that artistic research produces forms of (alternative) "knowledge" and the implications of this view for strategies of decolonisation.

He is currently teaching courses at the Berlin University of the Arts (at the MA Sound Studies and Sonic Arts), film university of Catalonia (ESCAC) and the graduate school of the University of Lapland. As a researcher, he’s connected to the University of Applied Arts Vienna In the dialogue we discuss how Alex's complex background led him into the realm of artistic research and his sense of how artistic research has been taken up across Europe. We look closely at Alex's major projects: the Auditory Research Unit at the Berlin University of the Arts  and the relationship between the auditory and the visual in architectural thinking; the Architecture of Embodiment and Alex's non-hierarchical approach to the structure and methodology of the research; and his collaboration with the Austrian media artist Nikolaus Gansterer exploring concepts such as the "presence of situations" in Contingent Agencies. We also engage with the more provocative aspects of Alex's thinking such as his insistence that "aesthetic research" should be distinguished from "artistic research". We cover his involvement in the new African-European collaborative project, Artistic Research and City Spaces which is linking The Wits Schools of Art and Architecture and Planning with a range of different artistic research initiatives in Europe. Finally we discuss Alex's critique of the notion that artistic research produces forms of (alternative) "knowledge" and the implications of this view for strategies of decolonisation.

Was genau ist eigentlich die Natur? Gibt es überhaupt Natur, die nicht vom Menschen berührt ist oder ist der Mensch ein Teil der Natur? Ecuador hat auf diese Fragen ganz einzigartige Antworten gefunden: Der Andenstaat hat als bisher einziges Land der Welt die Natur als eigenständige Rechtsperson in seine Verfassung aufgenommen. Journalistin Elisabeth Weydt hat vor Ort recherchiert und erklärt im Gespräch mit Host Maja Bahtijarević, was das genau bedeutet, wo Unterschiede zu deutschen Naturschutzgesetzen liegen, wie das Recht in Ecuador praktisch umgesetzt wird und was ein Frosch damit zu tun hat.

SCRIPTGood morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you may be and however you might be listening, welcome to another episode of What's Up Tuscany, the daily podcast from L'Arno where you will find the most interesting, funny or odd news from today, Tuesday February 16th 2021 as selected by our journalists. If you wish, please subscribe and share this podcast on social media, it would really help us.On this very unusual Mardi Gras, let's start with a story that has nothing to do with the Carnival, yet another incident happened at the hospital in Leghorn. The article from La Repubblica, follows a similar story that happened last January that caused a big uproar in town. Yet again a senior patient was dismissed from the hospital with nothing but a nappy on. The 81 year old lady, suffering from Alzheimer, had been hospitalized for an urinary tract infection and was ready to return home after a week of treatment. When the ambulance door opened, the relatives were horrified to see how she was practically naked in the bitter cold. Despite the contrition of the general medicine ward management, the nephew is outraged. Quote “When she got home, she didn't have the feeding bag she needs to survive. She had to wait until the next morning, when the daycare nurses reattached it. She had a change of clothes, but they remained in the hospital. No one gave me any explanation on why this happened” end quote. The reaction of the hospital? Same as last time: an internal inquiry will be opened and whoever is responsible for the accident will be harshly reprimanded. Last time it didn't do much, let's see if this time it will be enough to stop such an unacceptable behaviour.Instead of just following the daily evolution of the pandemic, some regional media have looked into the consequences of the extraordinary situation we're all living in one of the key sectors of our society, the schools. On the Pisa edition of La Nazione we read a disturbing picture of the mental state of many high school students. The words of Doctor Simona Cotroneo, who leads the FairPlay project, are chilling. Quote: “they live a sort of half life, stranded at home, with intermittent periods of distance learning where anxiety, confusion and apathy reign supreme” end quote. The drop in their performance in the half-year report is evident across the board. Distance learning doesn't help to concentrate but the real issues are psychological. Quote “we see kids that look inward, they don't talk much with their parents and at school things are not the same as before. They are consumed by uncertainty, they wonder when the emergency will end, they feel left to their own devices, which is why they hide in their little bubbles, unable to blow off steam as they used to” end quote. Teachers are suffering too. On top of the fear of having many of their pupils falling behind, the consequences of the vaccination campaign are showing up. On Il Tirreno we read how headmasters of local high schools are desperate. Five to ten absent teachers every day, twenty one in a single school. High fever, migraines and joint pains are not uncommon in the twelve hours following the first AstraZeneca shot, according to the head of immunology in the Prato hospital but the problem is getting serious. Headmasters are unable to call substitute teachers, as most teachers return to school after a couple of days. The consequences on the service provided to students are evident. The situation will get back to normal soon, when all teachers will be vaccinated, but until then pupils will have to endure yet another disservice in a very complicated school year.Now let's talk about the economy, where the attention of many media was focused on tourism, a possible engine of the future recovery. Signs of hope from the data coming from the Uffizi, where the recent reopening was quite successful. In the report published by La Nazione we read that almost twenty thousand people visited the museum. After remaining closed for 77 consecutive days, the longest closure since the end of Second World War, 18146 visitors took the chance to enjoy the masterpieces of the historic Florence museum. The Uffizi director hopes that the museum will be able to reopen soon, considered that a recent study from the Berlin University has shown how museums are the least likely public places when it comes to COVID contagion. Let's hope so, as the tourism lockdown is wreaking havoc on many industries, starting from car rental companies. On Firenze Today we read the harsh words of FILT-CGIL union representative Stefania Caliò. Sixty percent of the four thousand workers could be fired in March. Quote “the risk of a blood bath is very real. If this industry doesn't transform itself soon, it will have no future. The crisis could be worse than in 2020” end quote. The situation is just as desperate for tourist buses, where several hundred workers could be soon laid off. To be hit hard from the collapse of tourism and the rise of remote working also other industries, such as garages, driving schools, car sharing and long term rental companies. For some of them business contracted from minus 70 percent to a whopping minus 98 percent. Don't know about you, but this already looks like a veritable blood bath.Let's close today's episode with a funny story we read on the Massa edition of Il Tirreno. A group of residents of a small town, instead of just complaining, took matters into their own hands and cleaned the streets of their neighbourhood. Some citizens of Borgo del Ponte, a small town near Massa, sunday morning braved the cold and started cleaning the streets. According to the head of a local association, the garbage man over there is, quote, “some sort of a mythological figure, like the bogeyman or the werewolf” end quote. They said they did it as a love gesture for their town but they don't want to turn this into a regular thing. They are not ready to cover the disservices of the municipality with their good will, they say. We truly hope that their gesture will be enough to change things but we advise them to keep those broomsticks ready, just in case.That was all for today, I'm your host, Luca Bocci, and I'll see you tomorrow for another, hopefully a bit more cheerful episode of What's Up Tuscany, the daily podcast from L'Arno where you will find the news that, according to us, are well worth a second look. Thanks for listening and goodbye.BACKGROUND MUSICTitle: Gemini InstrumentalAuthor: Pipe ChoirLicense: Creative Commons AttributionLink: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Pipe_Choir/SGONS_Instrumentals/Pipe_Gemini_Instrumental

Ai Weiwei, one of the most adored and influential - some might say, most dangerous - artists of our time, is our guest on the third English-language episode of “Alles gesagt?” (“Nuff Said?“), ZEIT’s never-ending podcast. Ai Weiwei is not only an artist, he’s also an architect (he helped design the National Stadium in Beijing) and a filmmaker (he directed the Oscar-nominated documentary "Human Flow”). He is also well-known as a political activist for his fight for democracy and freedom of speech in his home country and for his criticism of the Chinese government for its censorship. The hosts of “Alles gesagt?“, Jochen Wegner and Christoph Amend, met with Ai Weiwei in his Berlin studio this August. Ai Weiwei was born 1957 in Beijing as a son of author Ai Qing, a highly esteemed poet under Mao in the early 1950s. Ai grew up in re-education camps with his family after his father fell from grace with the Mao regime and was banned in 1961. (He was rehabilitated in 1976, two years after Mao’s death). In 1978, Ai Weiwei started studying animation at the film academy in Beijing before moving to New York in the 1980s. He lived in the U.S. until the early 90s, returning to Beijing in 1993 due to the illness of his father and becoming established as an artist in his home country. He had a major international breakthrough with his work “Fairytale," displayed at documenta 12 in 2007, a piece which brought 1,001 Chinese people to Kassel. Ai Weiwei has been arrested several times for his political activism. In 2011, he spent 81 days in solitary confinement, an event which was accompanied by a wave of international protest. His passport wasn't returned to him until 2015, at which time he left China for Germany, living in Berlin between 2015 and 2019, where he held a guest professorship at Berlin University of the Arts. In 2019, he decided to move to Cambridge with his family, criticizing Germany for its intolerance and racism, but he still runs his studio in Berlin. In this episode, Ai Weiwei talks about his Chinese roots, his adventures in the United States, and his experience with living in Germany. He explains his love for blackjack and criticizes the global art market. For the first time, our infinite podcast did not come to an end. Ai Weiwei is the first guest who did not choose a Schlusswort (final word) to signify the end of our conversation, and simply left. So we are still recording.

In der aktuellen 11. Folge ist es uns eine Ehre mit der Bildhauerin Regina Roskoden zu sprechen. Regina ist schon seit über 50 Jahren in der Berliner Kunstszene aktiv und war Meisterschülerin für Bildhauerei an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin. Im Fokus ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit stehen skulpturale Häuser, Tempel, Türme und Tore. Dabei arbeitet sie gerne neben Baumscheiben aus dem eigenen Garten, alte Gebrauchsgegenstände wie verbrauchte Duft-Plättchen für Mückenschutz oder vergessene Dinge aus Kinderzimmern in ihre Skulpturen und Collagen ein. Wir wollten natürlich genau wissen, welche Sachen in den Kinderzimmern liegen bleiben. Vom 6.-21. März könnt ihr Regina's neuesten Werke in einer Ausstellung unter dem Namen "Art2go" - Objèt trouvé und objektives Objekt in der Parkstrasse 11 in Berlin sehen.

ENDZEIT – EVER AFTER, is a post-apocalyptic feminist gothic fairy tale that takes place two years after zombies have overrun Earth. Two young women, Vivi (Gro Swantje Kohlhof) and Eva (Maja Lehrer), develop an unlikely friendship in order to survive. They are stranded in the no-man’s land of the Black Forest where they have to rely on each other and on nature, while in search of a more humane world. But their survival has also unleashed demons from their past that they must confront. In the end, love arises not only for each other, but also for the fantastic natural world surrounding them. According to the director Carolina Hellsgård: “ENDZEIT – EVER AFTER reflects upon our future existence, how we choose to live, and what our options will be in a world where nature strikes back. The aesthetics are inspired by the quirky and refreshing style of Olivia Vieweg’s graphic novel, which the script is based on.” About the filmmaker: Carolina Hellsgård is a writer-director, born in Sweden and based in Berlin. She studied experimental media design at the Berlin University of Arts and film directing and screenwriting at Cal Arts in Los Angeles. Her critically acclaimed debut feature film WANJA premiered at the Berlinale 2015 and was nominated for Berlinale Best First Feature Award. It won Best Screenplay (Valletta Film Festival) and Best Feature Film Debut at the Biberacher Filmfestspiele. She is currently in post-production for the feature film project SUNBURNED. For news and updates go to: endzeiteverafter.com For more on upcoming screenings go to: endzeiteverafter.com

Carolina Hellsgård and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her gorgeous new film Endzeit (Ever After), faith in humanity, collective guilt, environmentalism and why having a positive view of the apocalypse is important. Trailer Synopsis Two years after the zombies have overrun earth, the German towns Weimar and Jena are possibly the last holdouts of human civilization. Endzeit follows two very different young women, VIVI (22) and EVA (26), who are involuntarily forced to join forces.

Sabine Messner's level of passion for helping people reach their greatest potential is RARE. She and I see eye to eye on so many things, making a difference rather than overcharging, empowering people instead of making them dependent on us, and not following the rest of the sheep when it comes to doing a great healing or spiritual business. So many of us are wanting to help people yet setting up a real sustainable business to do that is not that straightforward. I’ve personally run across too many people that are about the money or conversely undercharge for their amazing skills and abilities. Sabine is one of the few that is about the message. She is a spiritual master and shaman and takes people on amazing journeys. You can see it in the fabulous images and photos she helps people create for themselves. They are oozing with passion. She most desires help people create thriving businesses that are an expression of their sacred Soul Purpose so that they can get paid well to fulfill their destiny. Sabine is all about upturning the old paradigm of niching, marketing and advertising. She helps people figure out what their beautiful uniqueness is and bring that out. It’s what attracts people to us. Like so many others, Sabine didn’t aways do this.
