LAIBACH: GEBURT EINER NATION (live Ljubljanski grad 2020)
"The 21st century is generating its own traumas at industrial speed. New parallels are obvious: technofeudalism is replacing capitalism, digital tribalism is replacing nationalism, algorithmic control is replacing ideology, permanent crisis is replacing historical cycles, and global surveillance is replacing political responsibility. Where the 20th century had propaganda, we now have personalized reality. Where there were borders, we now have firewalls. Where there were dictators, we now have systems that no one truly controls, yet everyone obeys. Laibach will explore these forces because they are shaping a new citizen: monitored, distracted, outraged, and endlessly entertained. It is an updated version of the same old human alienation."
