This upDate gives the cultural philosopher, Gerhard Johann Lischka, an opportunity to present his archive of sound documents from 1974 to 1990, which has been issued by Hatje Cantz as a DVD entitled »On the Pulse of the Age«. In the lecture that follows the presentation Lischka explains the purpose of interviewing artists and thinkers, which – he says – is to use the directness and musicality of their language to gain sensory access to their ideas.

The latest ZKM Edition presents a collection of sound documents from 1974 to 1990. Interviews with artists (including Acconci, Mack, Stella, Warhol) and thinkers (such as Baudrillard, Export, Flusser, Luhmann) are supplemented by performatives and a lecture by Gerhard Johann Lischka.
