At Silicon Techie Night #24, I shared my insights and impulses about strategy: When we want to create truly meaningful technology for humans, how can strategy help us to deliver real value?

Kurt Tucholsky antwortete 1919 auf die Frage „Was darf Satire?” mit „Alles“. Beim Tag der Medienwissenschaft beschäftigten wir uns 100 Jahre später noch einmal mit der Frage: Christian Karch referierte über Freiheiten und Grenzen von Unterhaltung.

"Computer games as media art": In this year, we invited Stephan Schwingeler, a pioneer in the field of game studies and himself alumni of media studies in Trier, to give a keynote at the day of media studies.

The digital media shift is a challenge for all of us, whether we are part of the editorial staff or media studies in general.
