AI Slop: a discussion about good enough technologies

Talk

The internet has been a mess for a while. Clickbait, fake news, endless content that says very little, images of nothing – just a constant stream of crappy, sloppy stuff. Now AI/LLMs are making it worse. With tools like ChatGPT, we can produce huge amounts of text, images, and ideas in seconds. A lot of it sounds convincing. A lot of it looks finished. But much of it is…kind of empty. Slightly off. Just okay. So how do we make sense of this? In this session, we bring in two sociologists to think through this growing pile of »AI slop.« One way to understand it is through the idea of »good enoughness.« Most technologies aren’t designed to be perfect – they’re designed to be good enough to work. AI supercharges this. It produces content that feels usable and complete, regardless of whether it’s shallow or wrong. That’s how slop spreads: it passes. In this session we will discuss the following questions: What is AI slop and how did it get here? Why are technologies just meant to be good enough? Who is actually producing all this slop – AI, or us? We’ll share a few short, real examples from how people actually use AI at work and in everyday life. And then we open it up to you: Bring your weirdest AI outputs, your frustrations, your favorite uses – or your skepticism. Let’s try to make sense of the mess together.

Through an exchange of forces and counterweights between the metal wheel and his body, he opens a terrain of possibilities expressed by centrifugal force. The simplicity of the gyrating, repetitive movement creates a state of physical exhaustion, while the lack of vision generated by constantly spiraling action, a survival instinct kicks in. The body is engaged completely, arriving at a point where time and space border on the infinite. Instante materialises a journey to the centre of ourselves, leading us to the brink of hypnosis, disrupting our relationship with time, and offering the body as a mirror to reify our humanity. An unforgettable, captivating experience.

Born in the late 1990s, Tamer Nafar, Suhell Nafar, and Mahmood Jrere were inspired to tell their story through the rhythms of hip hop. DAM’s sound is unmistakable. Their music blends fierce rap with Arabic rhythms, Middle Eastern sounds and melodies, and the pulsating beats of urban hiphop.

Dance Out Loud

Workshop

Welcome to our special Sunday dance: Dancing the world with our bones! How does militarization affect our bodies? How about patriarchy and oppression? How do we claim our space, dance our anger, and find our own militancy — one that arises from a benevolent relationship with our bodies? Mentally, physically, and sensually, we stand up against the intensifying militarization of the present! In recent years, DANCE OUT LOUD has brought feminist dance protest forms to the streets of Hamburg. Today, open to EVERY BODY who joins our fight!

Der Assistent

Live Act

Man needs Assitenten (assistants). Helpers to realize ideas. Or spiritual support. Pop also provides assistance. When no one is around, we put on a song. Songs to wake up, songs to overcome heartbreak. Der Assistent writes dubby pop songs that give you air to breathe. Songs to relax. To come down. In a very uplifting way. Rumour has it that Der Assistent has a song in his drawer for almost every purpose. Der Assistent is there for us 24 hours a day. No matter where we are. We really can't expect more from a pop-assistant.

Designing Life: the Un|Natural Selection Club

Talk

What is life? This question has invigorated science, philosophy, and art, and today it is being reshaped by emerging technologies. With tools like CRISPR & AI, scientists are developing “Synthetic Biology 2.0”, creating “self-assembling” cells, programming proteins and organoids. As the possibility of “designing new life” becomes more tangible, it raises ethical and societal concerns that we need to consider. The Un|Natural Selection Club offers a space to explore these questions collectively through artistic and experimental engagement with emerging scientific findings. Together, we’ll craft, sculpt, mutate, synthesize, hack, reimagine, and animate life through art to make-sense of what we are made of and provide a broader picture as to what considerations of "life" - taken more openly and metaphorically – need to be included when thinking about how we want to live in the 21st century. The art created during this workshop will serve as a catalyst for dialogue with scientists.

The dance piece delves into bodily metamorphosis, driven by the vibrant rhythms of Malambo and the spirit of the gaucho-punk genre (referencing cyberpunk literature and Latin American narratives). In this funky blend of past and future, organic and artificial, the body mutates, redefining identity, gender, and representation. Malambo, the traditional dance of the Argentine gaucho, is based on footwork, choreographic percussion, and the use of boleadoras. Formerly performed exclusively by men, it embodies resistance and a connection to land. Led by Rocío Marano and in collaboration with dancers Libertad Iocco and Polina Sonis, our trio embodies a raw, punk energy, influenced by feminist, anti-colonial, and migrant perspectives. By integrating voice, rhythm, and ritual, we come back to the body as a way of knowledge, through joy and protest. language: english & spanish

Merz is bothering us with his performance-driven mindset as he pits people against one another. We say: Enough is enough. We want solidarity and cooperation instead of competition and cutthroat rivalry. We want to take a stand instead of just performing! Want that too? Then run the Lärzathlon: the charity run against the far right. Everyone can participate. Cheating is allowed, mutual support is expressly encouraged. If everybody votes right, run left! We run for a good cause: Donations go to Polylux and thus to local rural initiatives against the far right. The full course covers about 4 km across the grounds. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, take the shorter route—which includes a little surprise. And even better: Kuko will double all donations.

MACHINERIES

Live Act

The duo Machineries is a collaboration between synthesizer sorceresses Mustelide and Chikiss, who conjure their machines to craft soundscapes of electro-baroque and dystopian fantasy fiction. The concept took root after discovering the 1984 book "The Creative Computer" abandoned on the streets of Berlin, which is dedicated to proto-AI technologies, but in a more romantic and human way. Touching visual canvases and poems composed by the machines of that era inspired the artists to turn to the machines of this time for new stories. A kind of synthesis of the past & future, a scenario of cosmic chaos, krautrock passages, and web-disco revelations.

Ozan Ata Canani & die Demokratie

Band

Playing the bağlama (saz), Ata Canani pioneered German-language Turkish rock ’n’ roll in the late 1970s and continues to merge both sonic and social worlds. His songs are full of humanism, personal experiences, and historical explorations dealing, for example, with the harsh living conditions faced by Turkish »guest workers« 50 years ago, or human rights violations such as the Sivas massacre of 1993. Still, he invites us to share his hope for a better future for all, starting here and now: with dance.

Pain Magazine

Band

Pain Magazine emerges from the unexpected fusion of two celebrated acts from entirely different musical universes. French post-hardcore veterans Birds in Row join forces with Franco-American electronic duo Maelstrom and Louisahhh to create something that transcends both their individual legacies. The sound combines industrial rhythms with power-pop hooks, electronic textures with guitar-driven compositions. This is music that challenges listeners while maintaining melodic accessibility - a philosophy both camps have maintained throughout their careers.

Paka the Uncredible

Performance

Elsie is a large-scale animatronic dragon. Sculpted from formed steel, found objects, and surplus technology. Although stationary, she moves extensively. As any self-respecting dragon should, she spits fire and breathes smoke, of course.

Paka the Uncredible

Performance

Rusty the Horse is visually extraordinary: a remote-controlled kinetic entity that acts as a people magnet. With his own distinct character, philosophy, and ego, he leaves the audience feeling they have met an odd but real horse.

Paka the Uncredible

Paka ‚The Uncredible‘ is a unique interdisciplinary artist who creates spectacular and engrossing performances from a mix of large-scale mechanical sculpture, digital media, special effects, dramatic characters, circus skills, puppetry, and audience involvement.

PALES

Band

»Expect the unexpected.« Tomi Ungerer’s motto, enfant terrible of Strasbourg, seems to have been written for Pales. The band blows up any genre classification with a raw and visceral style where Indus, Noise, and Pop collide in a sonic battle. The stage is a playground where trance becomes irrepressible, breathless, constantly brushing against the boundaries of chaos. The sound hits, hypnotizes, triggers spasms, awakens the smells of acid, cosmetics, and burnt rubber.

Reasoning Resistance - Jiréh

Talk

Reasoning Resistance – Debate Culture, Solidarity, and Political Fragmentation In his audiovisual essay-lecture "Reasoning Resistance," Jiréh Emanuel explores social polarization, digital debate culture, and the vital question of how solidarity can survive despite deep divisions. Drawing from his work as a Black Community Organizer, anti-racism educator, and activist, Jiréh seamlessly blends community experience with sharp social analysis. Using soundscapes, interview snippets, and musical fragments, the lecture examines the impact of social media on political debates and the fragmentation of social movements. Inspired by the tradition of Rastafari Reasoning, this project views critical thinking as an ongoing process of questioning and learning—and as an open invitation to collective dialogue.

Reflection on Times of Fascist Passion

Workshop

Looking at the world around you, how do you feel? What world(s) are you in? In this session, we dissect political feelings. First, we introduce some thoughts about emotional and affective dimensions of far-right and anti-democratic politics, revealing their nationalist, fascist and racist views and passions. Secondly, moving through feminist approaches to affect and emotion, we open the space for everyone to collectively reflect on their own political feelings in times of far-right political turns and therefore uncertainty. If right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists are suddenly claiming to offer love and hope, how is that not only contributing to contested truths but how does it also shape the way we feel, act, and react as a democratic collective?

River Roux

Performance

‘JUICE’ confronts the categorisation of androgynous, illegible and disobedient bodies. In 1820, 19-year-old Mademoiselle Lefort's international career took off with an exhibition. She was presented to the public as an ‘irresistible attraction in which the sexes are equally united’. What Lefort felt at the time is unknown. The way her body has been studied and looked upon by doctors has been meticulously documented. To this day, medical science declares inter* persons as a biological phenomenon and anatomical impossibility. Evaluation by evaluation dissects, examines, evaluates, and ultimately invalidates their existence. In the performance ‘JUICE’, River Roux enters a transparent space. Whether museum, strip club or observatory, the gazes directed at her oscillate between desire and disgust, between attraction and shame. Roux examines the fascination with bodies in-between: Which body is perceived as ‘natural’, which as insurgent? And who is allowed to exist beyond fetishization?

Live Act

She Can't Afford Mascara was born from a need for South Asian representation in Europe's underground goth scene. Created by Adam Shazard, the project draws from experiences in the queer club underground, where glamour became an act of survival despite financial hardship and a non-supportive Muslim family. Mascara is a field full of melodramatic, depressive truths about Pakistani goth trauma, the art of delusion and the glamour found on sticky underground dancefloors. Mascara is the meeting of New Beat, Goth, and EBM with Pakistani and ethnic musical traditions.

SIND

Band

Formed in 2013 in the heart of Berlin, SIND create a style of indie rock that feels like a long walk home after a chaotic night out. They authentically blend guitar-driven indie nostalgia with a distinct pop sensibility and dark electronic sounds. What makes them special is the contrast: driving post-punk guitars colliding with massive, addictive synth hooks, all wrapped in a beautifully warm, melancholic veil. Their songs are raw anthems for anyone navigating adult life, capturing the ghosts of the past, the pulse of nightlife, and the beautiful decay of urban living.

Inspired by Rastafari and the rich sound system cultures of the UK and Jamaica, Catitah Steppah and Sister Siren deliver deep roots, meditative dub, and heavy steppers. For these two vinyl purists, their custom sound system is far more than just a wall of speakers and amplifiers—it is a spiritual platform for healing, connection, meditation, and sonic resistance against the Babylon system. Their crates are packed with everything from timeless roots classics to fresh releases and exclusive dubplates. On stage, they are frequently joined by Ecuador-born MC Treasure Irie, who elevates the session with live sampling, heavy effects, and powerful chanting. Their musical journey has taken them to Europe’s premier dub gatherings, including DubCamp (France), HIMDub Festival (Portugal), and the Fusion Festival near Berlin. As dedicated cultural activists within the non-profit association Kulturimpuls (Freising), they also co-organize the legendary Rootsbase stage at Fusion, alongside homegrown events like Dubimpuls and the Lioness Awake Roots Café. Since 2008, performing as the Siren Sisters, they have hosted pioneering sessions at Munich's Feierwerk, launching their regular Omega Dub Circle in 2023. Having welcomed over 100 international artists to their sessions (including Sista Habesha, Jah Vibes, and Dasha Fyah), their core mission remains empowering women and bringing gender balance to a traditionally male-dominated scene. For her relentless grassroots work, Sister Siren founded the all-female collective Lioness Awake in 2019 and was awarded the prestigious Tassilo Prize by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Two artists who have spent years listening deeply turn it into an act of transformation. One of them arrives with the pulse of distant continents, percussive and warm, rooted in groove, charged with the electric tension of world-influenced electronica and slowmo house. The other comes armed with memory and curiosity, kosmische drifts, no-wave ruptures, ambient passages that stretch time until the familiar dissolves. Together, they build something harder to name. A set that travels across tempos, continents, eras, without ever losing the thread. Percussion anchors the journey, while layers of texture push it toward the edge of the known. Cultures meet without colliding. Genres blur without disappearing. The dancefloor becomes a place of shared memory and surrender.

Equally hypermodern and timeless is the sound on their albums, of which there have been only five in nearly 20 years.

Trustfundbabes

Band

The music of this fresh Berlin ensemble is based on the experimental spirit of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the basslines of dance punk. In their live shows, beat, attitude, queerness, and a wink merge into a sweat-inducing dash forward. Distinctive trademarks are the rough vocals and the pounding guitars over danceable rhythms: at once nostalgic and modern, catchy and offbeat. And they show that a struggle for emancipation poured into lyrics can always also convey irony and zest for life. Small, (so far) too undiscovered anthems for everyone who doesn't want to commit.

Voices of Resistance: Feminist Struggles in Iran – From uprising to solidarity: creating space for collective reflection, emotion and action against oppression

Workshop

This 2-hour workshop at Fusion Festival opens a space to listen, learn, and reflect on feminist movements and the ongoing fight for freedom in Iran. We begin with poetry and shared voices, inviting different perspectives into a collective atmosphere of awareness and care. Guided by two facilitators from Iran, we will explore a timeline of women’s resistance in Iran, highlighting women’s resistance, achievements, and the realities of systemic oppression and digital censorship. The workshop creates room for open discussion, encouraging participants to engage, question, and form their own thoughts about the history and current situation. Emotions are welcome here — from anger to grief to hope — as we acknowledge the human impact behind the headlines. Together, we will also look at ways to act in solidarity, from raising awareness to supporting initiatives. This is a space to approach a complex topic with sensitivity: not as a critique of religion, but as a stand against oppression in all its forms. The workshop will be conducted in English.
