From the Great Wall to NEU CHINA and Level 7
I had the pleasure to visit Beijing for five days on invitation of Goethe-Institut and NEU CHINA to participate in a discussion about „The Future of Media“ (with Steven Jiang, Santiago Stelley and Gerry Shih), give a speech on and discuss (with Marco Donnarumma, Han Han and Philipp Grefer) the effects of Artificial Intelligence on the creation of music – and by that reflect how the relationship between machines and mankind is about to change and what that means for the role of the sovereign.
