How do machines shape the way we live, think, and interact? In his lecture on 1 July 2026, Prof. Dr. Henning Schmidgen explores Félix Guattari’s idea of “machinic normativity” and its relevance today. He shows why this thinking is particularly relevant for the analysis and critique of an increasingly digitalized capitalism.
