InhalteAll communication is structured by media. Media transmit or store messages, perspectives, aesthetics, but they are - as messengers and carriers of meaning - not the messages themselves. Their agency of transformation is often invisible. If it were not, we would constantly see screens and pixels instead of movies, listen to cables and loudspeakers instead of music and understand language, not stories. Interestingly they become most perceivable when they are subject to errors or lack resolution. In this introduction to media theories, we want to put the finger on the blind spots in which media act in culture and especially in the context of performing arts. How do the body and media technologies connect? Are they instruments of expansion or amputation of the human voice and organs? Together, we will read excerpts by essential authors of media theories of the 20th century and seek to enter discussions about how our individual expressions are channeled, structured and transformed by the media we choose, willingly or not.

He works with electroacoustic music, as a composer and theoretician, in the fields of instrumental and improvised music as well as sound installations. Harenberg has written a PhD on virtual instruments in the acoustic cyberspace and has led an SNF research project on the role of the performing body in electronic musical environments. He is professor for musical design and media theories as well as the head of studies of the degree program "Sound Arts" at the Bern University of the Arts. Until 2014, he led the “Deutsche Gesellschaft für elektroakustische Musik“ (DEGEM), where he has directed the "DEGEM WebRadio@ZKM“ among other things. (www.degem.de/webradio)
