“Maschinen versprechen Zukünfte?”

Lecture by Chris Salter (IAS) and Nils Röller (Philosophie) | 26.11.25, Hörsaal 1, Toni Areal

The lecture “Machinen versprechen Zukünfte” is part of the lecture series “Gemeinsinn. Zur Zukunft der Kunsthochschule” and is an event from the Critical Thinking minor led by Judith Siegmund, professor of philosophical aesthetics, with contributions from members of all departments at ZHdK.

In global politics, many people seem to be increasingly preoccupied with differences. What brings us together, what drives us apart – in relation to the art academy: practice from theory, music from conceptual art, film from dance, and research from performance, the political from the aesthetic, etc.? Two professors/teachers from different departments each give a joint lecture: What is special about the arts, design, their theories, and their teaching? And what answers do they have to the pressing questions of our time?
