A SERIES OF EVENTS BY NEUKÖLLNER OPERA AND MUSEUM OF COMMUNICATION BERLIN, March – November 2025
Can daddling be a sin? What’s so bad about what we touch most every day: our smartphone or tablet with its posts, tweets and reels?
We won’t encounter purgatory there, unless we get caught up in shit storms. But what drives us – the longing to be seen, valued and effective – can’t be a bad thing. Only if it leads to the uncontrolled, the excessive? The term “deadly sin” was once used to describe excess, so it is not surprising when Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn among others, explains: “Social networks are most successful when they trigger one of the seven deadly sins”. Or all seven.
At the Museum of Communication and around the exhibition NACHRICHTEN – NEWS, we want to uncover the “matrix” of SM x longing/sin and develop alternatives for ourselves. If “official news” now needs a fact check, then what about all the private “news” that is bombarding us daily and hourly on SM platforms?
Because “Internet” is also fun, we invite you to playful excursions/adventures that will take you from the heroine’s journey to the Western showdown to the therapy couch for fairytale princesses and princes. All evenings will be accompanied by selected experts from science, media, drama and music, by tour guide Bernhard Glocksin and the collective “Selbstgebaute Musik”, the experts for interactive and practical everyday musical experiences.
