Siegfried Kracauer, a prominent cultural critic and film theorist of the 20th century, has had a profound influence on the band that adopted his name on Extinction Internet. One of the main members of the band, David Meme, is particularly drawn to Kracauer's work. Kracauer's exploration of the relationship between culture, society, and technology resonates deeply with David's artistic vision. Their latest single, "ELIZA," marks the debut release from a concept album that delves into early artificial intelligence systems, such as ELIZA, and their impact on human experience. What makes this project even more innovative is the collaborative process; the band works closely with artificial intelligence systems to help compose and craft their music, bridging the gap between the past and present in a sonically captivating way. Their name, "Siegfried Kracauer," serves as a nod to the intellectual depth and critical thinking that informs their music, inviting listeners to engage with their soundscapes in a thought-provoking and immersive manner, as they navigate the intricate landscape of technology and human connection.
