Julia Grillmayr

Dietmar Dath unfortunately had to cancel due to health reasons, but the talk “Life on Venus” at 14:00 will take place as planned with Julia Grillmayr. Afterwards there will be a Q&A with Julia Grillmayr and Jens Balzer.

Billionaires are not just colonising planets, they are also paralysing our imagination of what is possible in society. What progressive future scenarios could cultivate a new form of togetherness? Cultural scientist and journalist Julia Grillmayr and science fiction author and journalist Dietmar Dath share ideas on the topic. In his new book Skyrmionen we read that humans have never been anything else but machines that an incomprehensible nature feeds with data to chain them to itself.

Dietmar Dath is a writer, journalist, and translator. Julia Grillmayr is a cultural scientist and journalist specialised in environmental humanities and science fiction research.

Moderation: Jens Balzer
