Abstract

The article investigates how technology, especially music, was used to produce specific bodies in the Berlin Techno scene after the fall of the wall. It argues that dancing was a mode of appropriating technology, as not only music but also visual effects affected bodies. The article describes three configurations of the techno body: the desiring body, the exhausted body, and the connected body. Rather than seeking to u n- veil the naïveté of a search for liberated bodies, the article suggests that Techno allowed protagonists to experiment with the body and thereby to produce new and exciting bodies. In that sense, the article traces the potentialities of using technologies to affect and produce historically specific bodies.

Description:

„Das Licht noch mehr reduzieren, noch mehr Nebel, noch mehr Stroboskop, noch mehr Bass, noch mehr Rhythmus. Ich wollte das Gefühl intensivieren, einfach in der Musik zu sein. Tanzen, die Augen zu machen und abfahren. Den ganzen Abend.“[1] So beschrieb der Techno-Künstler Wolfram Neugebauer, bekannt als Wolle XDP, die Idee hinter der von ihm zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre veranstalteten Partyreihe Tekknozid. Die Flyer, die zu den Partys einluden, sprachen eine „Warnung“ aus und versprachen gleichzeitig die „härteste[n] Techno-Beats“, die nicht nur „totale Ekstase“, sondern auch eine Reise ins „Unterbewußtsein“ und den „Cyberspace, jenen undefinierbaren Datenraum hinter Monitoren, Synthesizern und Satellitenantennen“ ermöglichen sollten.[2]
