To celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we hosted three Goethe Annual Lectures in 2022. Our speakers included Mercedes Bunz, Mithu Sanyal and Dr Matthew Herbert.
Mercedes Bunz, Professor in Digital Culture and Society, discussed the particular power of AI systems in her Goethe Annual Lecture 2022. Using work from contemporary artists, her talk revealed the human misunderstanding regarding AI.
The author, cultural scientist, and journalist Mithu Sanyal explored the pitfalls and promises of a politics of love in times of ever-growing divisions. What can politics informed by love look like?
Through a series of extraordinary sound recordings, musician Matthew Herbert pushed us to hear further than we had thought possible in the final Goethe Annual Lecture 2022. His talk asked us how systemic listening can lead to meaningful action.
