concept
The program deals with questions of the digital revolution as well as visions of the future and also looks at the changed image of people and society. Interviews with experts and experiments are carried out and an attempt is made to reflect critically on the events.
Production and publication
The show has been produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk , Arte , Österreichischer Rundfunk and the production company Bilderfest GmbH from Munich since 2017 and broadcast on the internet via the individual pages of the station and YouTube , as the internet offers more possibilities and freedom in the opinion of creative director Christiane Miethge than television offers. A revised edition for television, in the form of a 60-minute documentary, is also planned. One episode takes about 10 minutes.
