The radio piece is based on the exhibition DigiDic - Call for Digital Self-Defense organized by IMA Institute for Media Archaeology and transfers the exhibited objects into an acoustic walk-through. Dictator of Your Choice / The Bank Lies / Vending Private Network or Data Detox Bar are just some of the objects that will populate the four thematic circles in the exhibition - Trust, Responsibility, Promise, and Rage & Powerlessness. Walk with us - on the radio and in the museum (Stadtmuseum St. Pölten 02.12.22 - 19.03.23)!
