| <nettime> Everything's a Facade ! Einstürzende Berlinale ! |
Liebe Nettimers, Tbh, we're kind of enjoying this Berlinale Meltdown ! "Everything's a Facade ! Einstürzende Berlinale ! Kunst + Krapital + Collapsing Kultur + A Machinehaus of Total Memory Recall" https://xlterrestrials.substack.com/p/everythings-a-facade-einsturzende No paywall, no Login, but we DO appreciate followers / subscribers / people like us ;) That is, if youre are willing to give your email to Silicon V. Substack + Marc Andreessen ( a big funder ). Our guess is that they are utilizing the writers process for training AI (write bots ) and the usual surveilance krapitalism profiteering ... Hmm, XLt Radar is probably going to have to migrate again soon to another platform, free of these abuses. And we are also considering joining the Writers Against AI which was just initiated by Paul Kingsnorth last week... Pretty Killer Logic and alot of Integrity for the Human-scales and societal well being ! But more on that in a future post perhaps Excerpt from Einstürzende Berlinale : (note: it's way better with visuals: ) This image ( see article link ) is NOT the Kontrollraum of the E-werk building where the new Deutsche Kinemathek is now located (since 2025) after moving from the Sony Center on Potsdamerstrasse ( that other disaster zone ). This is the control room of the Tschernobyl AtomKraftwerk after a “Super-Gau” ( meltdown in April of 1986 ), but it looks very similar to the control room at the E-werk building, the location perhaps best known as the former Techno Club “Cathedral” in the area of Mitte, which at one point was dubbed Berlin’s “Bermuda Triangle”. There’s alot of eerie metaphors here for what has just occurred at the 76th Berlinale Film Festival this past week. There’s been a serious meltdown, and you cannot immediately see the fallout, and you can’t smell the toxicity, and you certainly can’t read about it properly in any of the main Deutsche Media channels ! cheers + wild rants from Btropolis !
