What does it mean for something to feel real today – and how does our perception change when it is increasingly shaped by digital spaces?

This interactive discussion format explores the question of »The New Real« from a range of perspectives.

Between Philosophy and Technology

Inge Wurzinger opens with a short introduction to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, offering a fundamental reflection on reality, perception and illusion. Thomas Thurner brings in contemporary perspectives on technological developments and illustrates the forms that reality can take today.

In conversation with Marie-Theres Zirm, the two engage with the audience to discuss the experiences, questions and interpretations that are gaining relevance in the age of »The New Real« – and what they mean for us as a society.
