Reading
"Healing in times of the dying internet" is an attempt at a description. What does it do to us that we carry a glowing square with a never-ending stream of content in our pockets 24/7? How are social media, AI and the battle for the attention of all against all changing our relationship to social problems? And how to ourselves? Jonathan Löffelbein's poems follow the logic of the internet: associative, playful and - after the wrong turn - frightening.
"be happy
they are liberated
they are filled
at last"
