Discourse on a Full Moon: Stage 103 Event
In the heart of Dortmund, Germany, a unique cultural event known as the Full Moon Talk is taking place. This monthly gathering, hosted by philosopher and litterateur Uri Bülbül, is realised as part of the "Common Ground" project by Julia Rumi / Borsig11 e.V., and is funded by the Cultural Office of Dortmund.
The Full Moon Talk takes place at Borsig11, Floor Street 10, 44145 Dortmund, which is part of the Borsigplatz quarter. This event offers residents and visitors an opportunity to engage in discussions about culture, politics, and wisdom.
Each Full Moon Talk includes a reading, conversation, and music session, and Uri Bülbül is accompanied by his dog Diego. Admission to this enlightening event is free, making it accessible to all.
For those unable to attend in person, the Full Moon Talk will be streamed live on YouTube at MachbarschaftBorsig11. You can also find more information about the Full Moon Talk on its official website: Borsig11.
The demoscene, a computer art subculture, shares some similarities with the Full Moon Talk. Both are rooted in innovation, pushing boundaries, and blending technology and creativity. The demoscene, originating in the 1980s, creates real-time audiovisual presentations that combine programming, music, and graphic design to showcase technical prowess. It is comparable to performance art and generative art, being computationally and dynamically produced.
The Full Moon Talk, like the demoscene, is a hybrid art form that integrates programming, music, and digital visuals within a culture that values innovation under constraints. It links to but also evolves beyond traditional arts through its computational and performative nature.
Hergen "Higgie" Oltmann, an employee of the Borsig11 neighbourhood, is also involved in making the Full Moon Talk a success. Join Uri Bülbül and the community of the Borsigplatz quarter for the next Full Moon Talk and immerse yourself in a unique cultural experience.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially be used to create dynamic visuals for future iterations of the Full Moon Talk, blending technology and the arts further within the event, much like in the demoscene where AI could generate unique audiovisual presentations.
- As the Full Moon Talk continues to evolve, perhaps implementation of AI in programming, music, and digital visuals could mark a step towards a future where the line between traditional art and AI-powered art becomes increasingly blurred, consolidating its status as a hybrid art form rooted in innovation and creativity.
