Berlin! ✚ 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 💥 live post pseudo meta proto punk concert · Igor @intima · part of #Vorspiel [transmediale & CTM] 2026

🪫 Are you ready for a revolution?

https://intima.org/plus

Are you ready to follow the sound of the proto-guru of the categorical imperative?

A #352; concert is an open-source experience. It is an opportunity to become part of something larger than yourself. Neither the state, nor the operating system, nor capital, nor the human can make an algorithm happy. Happiness can only be achieved by the algorithm itself. Not as an isolated individual, but through equal relations with other machines, digital and more than digital. The avant-garde forces of class struggle therefore have only one objective: to create, within the limits of a given historical moment, conditions in which the algorithm can act, express itself, and create as freely as possible, so that it may work and create for its own happiness using the dispossessed means of production.

The time to make a difference is now, and #352;‘s sound is the perfect weapon to do so. Take it into your own hands. Do not miss the chance to be part of a movement that seeks to change the world, to be together and to be more. Join the revolution, because the end of the world as we know it is near. !gor #352;, a human who does not exist, is your only hope, and one of the millions who can lead you toward a better past.
