Negotiating freedom: Campus member visits the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
Tobias Conradi from the ScienceCampus was invited to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. In the lecture series "Negotiating Freedom", he gave a lecture entitled ”Freedom under the Conditions of Digitality’.
Digitality and networking using digital technologies have been associated with great promises since the 1990s at the latest: Freedom, self-determination of media consumption, limitless contact and interactivity instead of passive reception are just some of the keywords associated with computerisation and access to digital networks.
Progressive digitalisation has changed work, the entertainment industry and private life in equal measure. At the same time, it has influenced and shifted our understanding of freedom. Tobias Conradi explored these changes in his lecture, paying particular attention to the relationship between digitality and freedom of choice.
