Digital // Analog: Indifferenz
Our brain works analog, our DNA digital.
Analog // Digital: Indifference - to risks and effects of the digital on our personal and social existence. And a little bit in reverse as well.

The digital comes from the initial counting with the fingers, is based on the intellectual resources from the analogue world and is determined by it in structure, composition and order.

Is that (still) the case?
Or do digital algorithms already determine us in what we see, where we turn, what we consume, how we communicate or with whom we potentially reproduce?

Digital and analog structures are often regarded as two different worlds. Perhaps this view follows the old occidental tradition of thinking in terms of body-mind dualism. We show their mutual interdependence.

What will be experienced and to be experienced? Analogue lamentations on digital memes, digital packages on the analogue post, balconyization, digital crucifixions and latinization, PAL digital, forgotten passwords and much more.
