  • Mochakk in conversation: When Life is Poured into Music

    Mochakk is one of the most exciting new artists that house music has seen in years. His unique sound – drawing from a broad range of influences, including the funk and soul of his home country Brazil – and his irresistible charisma behind the decks have turned him into a viral sensation, with plenty of musical substance to back the hype. For this Electronic Beats Conversation, Mochakk sat down with Electronic Beats editor Marcus Boxler to talk about his background in hip-hop and skateboarding culture, his interest in fashion, his Brazilian heritage, and the creative relationship between TikTok and his music making. During their in-depth conversation, they also touch on new models of masculinity and Mochakk’s love for typography, Comic Sans MS in particular.

Ihre digitale Zwille „The SMSlingshot“ hat es ins MOMA nach New York geschafft, bei ihrer interaktiven Installation „Point of You“ stehen Perspektivwechsel und Individualität auf außergewöhnliche Weise im Fokus. Überhaupt sind Welterschließung und Erfahrungsräume wiederkehrende Themen für die beiden.Mit ihrem Fabmobil, einem Doppeldeckerbus, der austgestattet mit allerlei Digitaltechnik fahrendes Kunst-, Kultur- und Zukunfstlabor ist, bringen Christian, Sebastian und ihr Team darüber hinaus digitale Kultur an Schulen in den ländlichen Raum. Und auch ansonsten sind die beiden ausgebildeten Designer völlig umtriebig und kreativ.

  • Equality and Gaming in Art
    Equality and Gaming in Art

    This Electronic Beats Podcast takes a different trajectory to our usual hosted format and this time we offer a panel talk discussion from the Equal eSports Festival at Digital X in Cologne. The panel addressed the role of equality and gaming in art with American new media artist Angela Washko, art collector Julia Stoschek and Antje Hundhausen, founder of the #equalesports initiative at Deutsche Telekom.

    In video games, performances and through digital interventions, Angela Washko explores the roots of misogyny in digital and physical spaces. One of her works is currently presented in the exhibition 'Worldbuilding - Videogames and Art in the Digital Age' in Düsseldorf, which is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of fellow panellist Julia Stoschek’s Collection.

    Throughout the discussion the three talk on the relationship between gaming and art, the designers and artists behind them and the inherent issue of sexism, racism and homophobia experienced in games. The panellist’s also exchange views on the lack of women’s stories in the gaming world, pushing and blurring the boundaries, creating a safe space for women gamers and cancel culture in the eminent role-player game World of Warcraft. The discourse also leads to touch on the threads between gaming and the arts, making critical art in games, media-based artists and creators and choosing artists for exhibitions.
