Joshua Cohen:
You want a golem?
Golem talks – Program Accompanying the Exhibition GOLEM (audio recording available)
Joshua Cohen reads from his highly-praised Book of Numbers and discusses with the literary theorist Caspar Battegay the digital-metaphoric aspects of the golem creation in this day and age – the relationship between incantation and code, “master” vs. “slave machine,” automation in art and industry, and Konrad Zuse’s theory of computation.

In his works, the bestseller author describes “Being human in the age of binary code” (New York Times). In the attic of Prague’s Old-New Synagog, all he found was dust.
