Power Panel
Debate culture, research, think tank
Complex topics require exchange with experts. We embed the presentation of your topic/concept in a multimedia panel in which participants enter into a participatory exchange with experts from a wide range of disciplines. Whether for research purposes or as an interactive brainstorming session. Frontal teaching is a thing of the past. We consciously rely on a hybrid format that combines digital and analogue methods.Based on the Humanotop project, which was created in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University and Münster University of Applied Sciences, the Brachland ensemble developed a participatory audio walk that enables viewers to rethink the future of their city based on scientific data.

About the concept
In November 2022 and July 2023, the public was invited to move freely on the stage of the Tafelhalle and the rooms of the Deutsches Museum Nuremberg (Museum of the Future), participate in discussions, test text-to-image generators, listen to a sermon by the robot Pepper, note down questions and watch an open rehearsal with the dancer and the SHORE® facial recognition software. Tests of the analysis software and conversations with ChatGPT were conducted in public.
The first scenic excerpts from the current state of work of the production "As good as you" were supplemented in 2022 by discussions between the artistic management team and Veronika Ortmayr, consultant to the management of the Academy for Theatre and Digitality Dortmund, Prof. Dr. Bastus Trump, Junior Professor for Artificial Creativity and Musical Interaction, Nuremberg University of Music and Prof. Dr. Peter Dabrock, Chair of Systematic Theology (Ethics), FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and former Chairman of the German Ethics Council.
In 2023, the second panel took place in a similar arrangement. This time, Eva Gengler (feminist and doctoral candidate at the Schöller Chair of Information Systems at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), Dr. Sebastian Reitelshöfer (Head of the Robotics Research Unit at FAU) and Prof. Dr. Martin Ullrich (Professor of Interdisciplinary Music Research with a focus on Human-Animal Studies at the Nuremberg University of Music) were invited.
The blueprint of this panel can me modified for any other topic and audience.
