Artistic Manoeuvres for the Digital Present
19.–29.3.2020 / HAU1, HAU2, HAU3

We have arrived in the reality of digital transformation. Life with
screens, apps and algorithms influences our behaviour, our atten-
tion and desires. Meanwhile the idea of the public space and of
democracy is being reorganized by digital means. The festival
“Spy on Me” goes into its second round after 2018, searching for
manoeuvres for the digital present together with Berlin-based and
international artists. Performances, interactive spatial installati-
ons and discursive events examine the complex effects of the digi-
tal transformation of society. In theatre, where live encounters are
the focus, we come close to the intermediate spaces of digital life,
searching for ways out of feeling powerless and overwhelmed, as
currently experienced by many users of internet-based technolo-
gies. For it is not just in some future digital utopia, but here, in the
midst of this present, that we have to deal with the basic conditi-
ons of living together as a society and of planetary survival. Are
we at the edge of a great digital darkness or at the decisive tur-
ning point of perspective?
