While the word “techno” immediately sparks memories of dark underground nightclubs and the mystery of Berghain, it has become an influential phenomenon beyond a musical genre that has transformed the creative landscape of contemporary culture.
Techno’s reach has spanned into art, philosophy, fashion, media and technology. Published by the Goethe-Institut, Techno Worlds delves into these avenues, exploring the genre’s musical history and cultural present to reveal how what began as a ‘sound’ has transformed into a form of artistic exploration.
Through images and commentary contributions, the 300-page book reveals the extensive depth – and breadth – of techno, club culture and the omnipresence of its inspiration.
