transmediale Marshall McLuhan Lecture 2014 with Douglas Coupland

Space Junk Lecture 28 January 2014 Embassy of Canada, Leipziger Platz 17, 10117 Berlin The transmediale Marshall McLuhan Lecture invites a Canadian cultural figure, whose work expands on McLuhan’s media theories in the context of contemporary culture and society. In 2014, the Canadian writer and visual artist Douglas Coupland delivered the lecture, entitled "Space Junk". Following his iconic writings on the first digital workers "Microserfs" in the 1990s to the digital natives of "JPod" (2006) and his biography of McLuhan "You Know Nothing of my Work!" (2011), Coupland uses his unique way of expressing ideas—almost a form of stand-up comedy—to explore the ultimate fate of our junk data and where hyperdigitization will take us in the end. As he alternates between the sacred and the profane, a new form of discourse emerges that engages both academic and populist spheres.
