Coming from media theory, Stefan Heidenreich primarily deals with the political, cultural and economic effects of networks.

In FlipFlop , Heidenreich describes the technical history of the media as an "almost blind historical process". At the end of the 20th century, digitization led to "a kind of universal technology". Ultimately, however, a cybernetic model of cultural history is hidden behind his media image, with the exclusion of cultural and social factors, according to the review of the Deutschlandfunk by Stefan Fuchs.

In What does art promise? he describes art as a production system that takes its name from the sciences and, with the institution of the museum, receives a temporal order that determines modernity.

Since 2006 he has increasingly turned to questions of economics. More money , which he wrote together with his brother Ralph Heidenreich, critically describes the dynamics behind the 2007/08 financial crisis . Robert Misik praises the publication in his review of the TAZ , as it provides many details for understanding an event. However, the proposed solutions are not the strength of the book, as they are sought in distributive justice . Your conclusion:

"... a clever, thoroughly idiosyncratic book ... The result is a bit jargon-like, it has a good portion of Deleuze - Guattari - dashing. Money as a dream machine, the fortune of money, its promise of salvation, which is still in the quasi-religious Language (creed and credit, belief and believer, guilt and debtor), this flashes rather aphoristically. "

In the book Claims the authors continue their reflections on the monetary system. You design the utopia of a moneyless economy. Since the distribution of work and the distribution of goods can be organized more efficiently and fairly via networks, there is no need for money for the organization of coexistence. Multi-dimensional, momentary valuations take the place of the general equivalent, and intelligent objects become economic agents in their own right.
