Drifting Islands is a joint discussion organised by transmediale.09, 'Letterkenny Regional Cultural Centre' and Leonardo/Olats 'Lovely Weather' project.
What are the artworks that are addressing those issues, and how?
How do people from different geographic zones, living on islands, relate to those trends?
How different are the issues in Iceland, say, or the Mediterranean and Pacific?

Architecture as an environmental, spatial measuring machine Architecture is an intelligent corpus, a reflection of the environment surrounding itself. The information technology of Corpora in Si(gh)te by doubleNegative Architecture has maintained the mutality between architecture and environment in a virtual way through continuous spatial measurements, reflecting what C.i.S architecture believes to be the core principle of architecture.
The Collegium Hungaricum Berlin aims to presents a modern and European picture of Hungary, expanding
and deepening cultural and scientific collaborations. It becomes the physical host for the 'Corpora', a cellular, fluid and generative architectural organism created by the transnational art and design group doubleNegatives Architecture (dNA). A meshed network structure of urban sensors and cameras monitoring, collecting and distributing real-time environmental information including temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound feeds a system of nodes, each making local decisions independent of a central architect. An intelligent corpus augmenting the reality of the .CHB's urban environment, Corpora in Si(gh)te gives rise to a new architectonic and artistic entity.

Increasing social inequality, aggravation of living standards, short-sighted environmental policy and the violation of human rights are all facts pointing to the increasing extremes of the conditions of life. These conditions are not cultural dysfunctions, but are fundamentally connected to the processes of global capital to systematically exploit the environment. Re-Articulacija project members Marina Grzinic and Sebastjan Leban invite the festival audience to join political philosophers Sefik Seki Tatlic and Madina Tlostanova, along with transmediale 2009 Award nominee Petko Dourmana to engage in a session of collective research to counter contemporary global forms of exploitation, control, censorship and expropriation.

As varied the forms of video art today are, and as rapidly as current developments progress, there is still no clear answer to the question of what is the best form of presentation. A work can function on a handy display, another work might work best as a loop in a museum space, while a third is best seen on a monitor and headphones. In cooperation with Babylon at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Ivo Wessel and Olaf Stüber invite you to come and share their obsession. As monthly as possible, always on a Friday, always at midnight.
