transmediale 2k+12: in/compatible
Have you visited the transmediale website recently? It looks horrible! It’s so 1999. It’s just wrong. It’s simply incompatible.
At transmediale 2012 everything will revolve around the theme in/compatible. Incompatibility refers to the condition that arises when things don’t work together – a pervasive phenomenon in the field of technology. Both developers and hackers are always working to improve systems; however, hackers do not always act on the basis of functional motives, but sometimes disrupt systems in order to criticise them. Especially in times of crisis, this force of in/compatible tension possesses potential for renewal. At transmediale, this tactic will be transferred from the technological to political, aesthetic and other social systems in order to examine productive and destructive aspects of the in/compatible. In the spirit of ruptures, gaps and creative hacks, the festival for digital art and culture will celebrate its 25th anniversary with an international program featuring discussion panels, artworks, video screenings, workshops, performances and art interventions. As always, transmediale runs parallel to and in cooperation with Berlin’s CTM – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts. Get all the dates and deets here.
The festival will take place from 31 January to 5 February 2012 at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt with the new Artistic Director Kristoffer Gansing. Below you can see an image of the amazing in/compatible poster campaign.
Before and during the 25th festival edition transmediale and its partners invite everyone for a series of lectures, exhibition openings, performances, artist talks and special events in Berlin.
