A fierce critic of digital capitalism, he exposes the emotional and political toll of today’s platform society. Author of Platform Brutality, Sad by Design, and Zero Comments, Lovink asks: what does collective resistance look like when the internet becomes brutal?

Simulation isn’t just about escapist fantasies like The Matrix or Baudrillard’s hyperreality—it’s a technological process shaping our daily lives.

In the workshop SIMULATION: PRODUCTION AND REPRODUCTION, we’ll be joined by Inge Hinterwaldner (@KIT_Karlsruhe), Selena Savic (@jazoza), Orit Halpern (@tudresden), filmmaker Christina Zimmermann for interdisciplinary perspectives on simulation’s role today.
