Culture remains free – the dai HOME free of charge. We are very happy about donations during this time.

The digital space: Here I am human, here I can be (everything)? The Internet and digital applications expand the scope for thinking and acting. There are almost no limits to access to information, communication and social interaction.

Does this change our view of humanity? Does the human being remain a person or does he become an avatar? How do algorithms and applications influence our behaviour? Do we need new basic rights or just their consistent implementation in the digital world?
