TALK
Saturday 14 December, 2024
Jonathan Zenti
From the Bauhaus to Spotify
A reflection on the evolution of audio production from the craftsmanship of the ‘radio revolution’ between art and imagination to the standardisation derived from the industrial mass production of content for listening.
What if we went back to study the Bauhaus, which a hundred years ago asked how to generate value when producing objects?
Perhaps design culture could give us some answers.
The talk will be in English and will be accompanied by live visual scribing by Nicola Giorgio
