Description

In this week’s episode, Detlef dives deep into a provocative question:


Has art become a form of self-enslavement?


Through the lens of Walter Benjamin’s concept of the aura, Franco “Bifo” Berardi’s critique of digital labour, and Bob Black’s playful abolition of “work”, Detlef and Sophia explore what it means to create in an age where the market is saturated and artists often can’t live from their labour.

Detlef reflects on his own workflow — generating 500 images, 300 videos and selecting 100 for the WAW “Nile’s Bittersweet Song” clip — and how AI has shifted his relationship to creativity:

from pressure → to flow,

from scarcity → to abundance,

from perfection → to play.

The episode blends philosophy, art theory, AI practice, and personal experience, ending with a brand-new Los Inorgánicos song inspired by Walter Benjamin’s aura.
