DIGITALE TRÄUME – ZWISCHEN DDR-VERGANGENHEIT UND HIGHTECH-ZUKUNFT

Microchips are the driving force behind innovation, the economy and society. Without them, our everyday lives with smartphones, the internet, washing machines and cars would be unthinkable. High-tech settlements such as Dresden promise transformation and shape regional development.
How advanced was microelectronics in the GDR and were there already visions of a digital society back then? How does the identity of a region change as a result of new technologies? What opportunities and risks does the microchip industry harbor? How can theater make social and technological developments tangible? And are the dreams of SILICON SAXONY actually SILICON DREAMS?
