Exploring Screen Culture, Art, and Technology at the Goetheanum
Visitors interested in contemporary discussions on media habits, art, and technology can look forward to upcoming programming at the Goetheanum. Located in Dornach near Basel, the monumental architectural landmark and cultural center serves as the global hub for the Anthroposophical Society. Beyond its regular architecture tours, exhibitions, and stage performances, the institution frequently hosts initiatives that bridge modern societal questions with creative expression.
The New Pegasus Project and Youth Engagement
Among the upcoming initiatives is the New Pegasus Project, scheduled to run from 16 to 20 March 2026. Directed toward schools, youth centers, and youth institutions, the program combines workshops, conversations, and performances focusing on art, technology, ecology, and economics.
The project addresses how young people interact with digital media. Rather than encouraging passive screen consumption, the initiative—conceived by Nathaniel Williams, head of the Youth Section at the Goetheanum—invites participants to actively shape color, form, and sound. Central to this experience are custom-designed interactive elements that enable players to choreograph live movements onto a screen, accompanied by professional vocal performances.
Sustainability and Media Reflection in Basel-Region Context
In addition to creative workshops, the program encourages critical reflection on modern electronic devices. Discussions led by researchers such as Frank Stiksma explore the lifecycle of consumer electronics, addressing issues surrounding the throwaway culture and promoting repair-friendly product design.
