« Kleines Magazin » The Best Futurism Money Can't Buy
The two discuss micro-economies, the conditions of production in the periphery and the dreams of another way of doing things. They tear apart the notions that the existential and the economic are now converged or that money and the psyche are fused into one. They question the inherent sharability of music and a communism of one. The discussion follows on their talk at Audio Poverty (listen here). They go further to look at different models of production, pious Gurus and a sustained crisis that forces the public into weird new forms of financialization.
