Madness #16: “Boiler Room pwrd by Google" is a real-dystopian premonition of darker times of the post-gentrified tech- corporate city and a celebration of resistance against this tendency in equal measure.
Boiler Room represents the generic commercial exploitation of music and club culture in the form of ever-similar, formally very clearly structured events that are filmed and streamed. The audience filmed in the videos becomes part of the product.
Google, on the other hand, stands - as a supposed sponsor - as an example for a company that is uncritically praised for a supposed increase in the attractiveness of Zurich as a business location, while many of the corporation's problems and the significance of the accompanying gentrification for the city are ignored.
Madness #16 appropriates the capitalist format of the Boiler Room to express the typical subcultural content of the #workoutjazz festival series to the outside world. On the one hand, it poses the question of what form of culture would be promoted by big business and, in the best case, simultaneously shows that it is worth fighting for our alternative.

This event is supported by Popkredit der Stadt Zürich, Fachstelle Kultur des Kantons Zürich and Migros Kulturprozent
