Electronic music is the music of the technical age: tones and sounds are generated by electricity-driven machines. Based on the history of the Siemens Studio for Electronic Music, founded in 1960; Studio Stadt. Peripheries of Electronic Music mixes diverse (sound) traces into a reflection on the automation processes of the working and living world in the 20th and early 21st century. The exhibition project considers electronic music as an early form of digital culture and places it in relation to the changing urban peripheries of the two "Siemens cities" Berlin and Munich. Globally active tech corporations are not only actors of industrialization, but have always shaped social urban development through company-owned real estate companies and ownership of land. Against this background, the artists in Studio Stadt experiment with the potential of making invisible flows and infrastructures audible and making visible unheard narratives inscribed in the body of the city.
