Berlin, 03 – 07 February 2016
The festival engages in reflective, aesthetic and speculative positions in between art, technology and culture. Every year, numerous cooperation projects articulate the relationship between technology and culture in non-linear, dynamic ways.
Transmediale is a transdisciplinary platform, always searching for new avenues of artistic, academic, activist and everyday expressions. It is a project always on the look out for projects and persons who may help in navigating, reflect on and ultimately re-model the production of contemporary culture.
This year the format of transmediale/conversationpiece is not like past festivals: instead of a singular theme with static exhibition and program structures, artistic and research practice will unfold live through a variety of talks, discussions, lectures, workshops, and experimental hybrid formats.
Due to the exchange-based nature of the events, many will be registration-only, allowing for a limited number of participants to engage in rigorous discussion and collaboration. Four thematic streams serve as an organizing principle for the conversations and presentations: Anxious to Act, Anxious to Make, Anxious to Share, and Anxious to Secure.
Additional to the event streams, the newly developed Co-Curricular program comprises workshops, panels, and participatory formats aimed at university students in the fields of art, design, and media. As in past years, transmediale is collaborating with CTM – Festival for Adventurous Music and Art – to present a variety of events across Berlin through the extensive Vorspiel program, which forges a network of cooperation between cultural institutions, project spaces, and actors in and beyond the city.
