ABOUT BEAT BY BITS
Beat by Bits is the open-air adaptation of Paula Rosolen’s exploration of the techno phenomenon, 16BIT. Translating the kaleidoscopic stage performance into an outdoor setting, six performers and five local guests seize techno’s inherent energy with the precision of a metronome. Beat by Bits considers techno as a social, political and cultural event. As a transatlantic exchange reaching back decades, it represents an Afrofuturist expression for Detroit’s black community and a symbol of liberation for Berlin when the Wall fell. As well as reflecting on the genre’s past, Beat by Bits is a sharp response to the shock of the pandemic and the fragility of our freedom to commune in the collective hypnosis of the club.
