silent green & Verlag Klaus Wagenbach present

Unicorns? Unicorns! There’s hardly any other phenomenon that illustrates the history of the internet over the past 20 years quite as well: from queer spaces and startup culture to the right-wing “vibe shift.”

How did a mythical creature become an icon of the digital present and a projection screen for culturally conservative fears?

In her brilliant essay on the rise and crisis of social media, Annekathrin Kohout sets off for Candy Mountain, explores the brightly colored internet culture of millennials—set to the soundtrack of Erasure—and examines the unicorn as a consumer phenomenon—ultimately ending up in Silicon Valley, where investors are on the hunt for the next billion-dollar “unicorn startup.”
