In this episode, Detlef explores a provocative question:
Why does creativity hurt the human body — but not the machine?
This episode dives into:
⚡ Burnout in the creative world
⚡ The myth of the suffering artist
⚡ Flesh vs. Electricity
⚡ AI as poison AND remedy
⚡ The artist as curator of boundaries
From burnout in the creative process to the myth of the “suffering artist,” Detlef examines how pain became prestige — and why AI challenges that narrative. With insights from Walter Benjamin, Bernard Stiegler, Donna Haraway, and Shoshana Zuboff, the episode asks whether AI is a threat… or a liberation from endless labour.
Is the artist still a worker — or a curator of boundaries?
The episode closes with the industrial new track by Los Inorgánicos:
“Work. Exhaust. Collapse. Repeat.”
A mantra for a system that demands more than the body can give.
Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.
