An incredible freestyle rap performance by the US-American artist Harry Mack more info

As soon as Harry Mack opens his mouth, a storm of rhymes and flow usually begins, which can easily make many a rap fan dizzy. This talent has made the US-American from Portland not only a high-profile content creator but also a concert highlight for everyone who lives and loves freestyle rap culture. Starting out as a YouTuber, Harry Hamilton McKenzie, as Harry Mack is known by his real name, has developed over the years into one of the greatest freestyle rappers of our time. From trap to old-school boom-bap hip-hop, from East Coast to West Coast: there is no beat that the rapper cannot make his own and on which he cannot instantly come up with pointed lines. His big breakthrough came with the viral "Venice Beach Freestyle", in which Mack spontaneously raps about passers-by he ran into at the world-famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles. It is precisely this spontaneity that makes the US-American's art so special. He decides on the spot what he raps about – whether in real life or online, where he freestyles with people he meets randomly online in his format "Omegle Bars", which has millions of views. The refreshing approach of his rap art, which also features jazzy elements due to Mack's classical training in jazz drums, has opened up great opportunities for him far beyond his YouTube bubble. These include performances alongside artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Soulja Boy, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jennifer Hudson. Harry Mack has long been going on major tours himself and, true to his freestyle approach, involves the audience directly in his performances, transforming impulses from the crowd into heated rap tracks during his intense concerts.

She also generated buzz with her follow-up album, Of The Near And Far, a stunning and highly atmospheric release for strings and jazz ensemble inspired by her passion for astronomical phenomena.

A lecture and discussion exploring how ChatGPT and social media act as resonance chambers that promote right-wing extremism, increase inequality, and erode community, alongside the political radicalization of BigTech figures more info

This lecture and discussion with capulcu (keep the future unwritten) explores why ChatGPT, in combination with social media, acts as a resonance chamber that promotes right-wing extremism, increases social inequality, and erodes community life. It also sheds light on why the political radicalization of leading BigTech actors goes far beyond a mere "Trump effect". The presentation analyzes how algorithmically amplified polarization through hate speech and misinformation destroys the foundation for democratic political will-formation, viewing this not as a neutral side effect but as a targeted technological attack by a patriarchal and increasingly openly right-wing extremist tech oligarchy. It argues that feminist and anti-fascist movements must actively confront this authoritarian future project.

Led by Bülent Kullukcu and Anton Kaun, a live composition of city sounds, breath, steps, and gestures is created while walking.

It sharpens perception for diversity and neighborhood. The finale of each run is a joint 'concert of collected sounds' – a unique live track consisting exclusively of sounds from this path.

A performance by Caroline Anne Kapp based on research into the "Plantage Dachau" (SS experimental herb garden next to the Dachau concentration camp) more info

The performance by Caroline Anne Kapp is based on her research into the "Plantage Dachau" (Dachau Plantation), established in 1938 by the SS right next to the Dachau concentration camp. Better known as the "Kräutergarten" (herb garden), it was one of the largest labor commandos of the concentration camp, serving as an experimental station between esotericism and efficiency for the Nazi regime's autarky fantasies. The performance draws connections to modern-day right-wing extremist ("völkische") settlers who currently cultivate over 25,000 hectares of land across Germany, planning the cultural overprinting of existing landscapes based on National Socialist ideologies tested at the Dachau plantation. Caroline Anne Kapp transports this history into the garden of the Lenbachhaus through her performance.
