On the Politics of Simulation

What happens to the art at the museum at night? During the corona-related shutdown in November 2020, Hito Steyerl’s exhibition I Will Survive at K21 (September 26, 2020—January 10, 2021) transformed into a livestream format and "weird-ass visual podcast". On November 15th, I took part in “4 Nights at the Museum,”—a project developed by Hito Steyerl that provided some background and conversations about the works in the exhibition. I joined Hito Steyerl and Shintaro Miyazaki, junior professor in Digital Media and Computation at Humboldt University of Berlin, in a discussion on the politics of simulation.
