[Superlecture]: Nobody Listens to Music Anymore (Marek)
On finishing the project of music, on TikTokCore and SpotifyCore, on music as cosplay and the technicity of cultural imperialism, on the bureaucratic turn in the arts, on being dangerous. Lecture given for my beloved DMR at Columbia University at the beginning of December.
Feeling a bit bolder than usual on this one, but it's cuz my toddler is sleeping good. <3
Shoutouts included at the top. Shoutouts to EPFL Pavilions and especially Jonathan Impett, who I revere, for giving me an initial platform for my obnoxious ideas.
Also — Liz Pelly’s new piece for Harpers is extremely relevant here…
