The first János von Neumann Salon opened to a full house in the Panorama Room of the Collegium Hungaricums.
#1 The Camouflage of Cybernetics
What’s the H-Bomb got to do with the computer – or how are both things related to what we consider true and knowable?
A live video-talk with Wolfgang Hagen – followed by a panel discussion with Wolfgang Hagen, Till Nikolaus von Heiseler, Wolfgang Ernst and Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag.

Wolfgang Hagen is one of the most important media theorists in Germany. Hagen is the chief editor of the media & culture department at “Deutschlandradio Kultur”, the public radio station. His most recent book is “The Radio”. In the discussion he will present his central thesis: The media predates us. How does this affect our future?
Wolfgang Ernst is a media researcher and a scholar of Friedrich Kittler. Ernst examines concrete media operations and, by rethinking Kittler’s historical perspective, tends towards constructing a universal media archeology.
The opening session of our Salon was dedicated to elucidating why János Neumann is eponymous to our epistemological Salon for media research and the arts.
