Retune

This is #03 of our Retune Talk series. In this series, we are publishing the talks that were held at Retune Festival 2018 in Berlin on the main stage. Ralf Baecker is an artist working at the intersection of art, science and technology. Through installations and machines, Baecker explores fundamental mechanisms of action and effects of new media and technologies. At the core of his objects lies the entanglement of the virtual with the real, or rather, with the world. With a media-archaeological outlook, Ralf Baecker digs within obsolete devices for traces and functions that are still detectable in technologies today. Since 2016, he teaches at the University of the Arts Bremen as Professor for Experimental Design of New Technologies. You can find his work on: http://rlfbckr.org
