PUBLICATIONS
Julie Ackermann
Hyperpop
Tra colori sgargianti e voci angeliche, velocità vertiginose e artificialità spinta, Julie Ackermann si addentra nella colonna sonora di un capitalismo impazzito, più intenso e violento che mai. Rifacendosi agli strumenti dell’accelerazionismo e profilando l’orizzonte di un’utopia queer nel futuro, Ackermann si interroga sull’ambiguità e sul complesso rapporto che questa estetica intrattiene con il reale. Oltre la satira, oltre la facciata sintetica, l’hyperpop sfugge al cinismo e approda a una nuova forma di sincerità: una post-ironia capace di opporsi al catastrofismo imperante e far implodere la cultura capitalista dall’interno.
