Myths Of The Near Future [DJ set] feat. Ben Huang

Performance
Sun 07.02.2010 - 22:00
hkw cafe stage

Nobody is interested in the future at all. I think the future has been annexed into the present.
Occasionally a futuristic image is trotted out, ransacked like an image of the past and absorbedinto the ongoing continuum that represents present-day life.
[J.G. Ballard, Myths Of The Near Future, 1982]

In collaboration with Shanghai eARTS Festival and CTM.10, transmediale.10 presents a night of performance and music examining China as one of the motifs of FUTURITY NOW!. Featuring four artists who represent a new wave of Chinese practitioners working beyond the constraints of social, political or geographical identity, Myths Of The Near Future will open up an axis between China and Berlin, exploring a future dialogue based on shared values of experimentation, digital practice and cultural exchange.

Ben Huang, the man responsible for bringing Beijing’s club scene to Europe (and vice versa) completes the Myths of The Near future evening with a DJ set at the Café Stage.

Presented by transmediale and CTM in cooperation with eARTS Festival Shanghai

Today Ben Huang is one of the most in-demand DJs in China. After training as a dancer, Huang began to pursue his music career sometimes in the 1990s when club scenes just started to come alive in Peking and Shanghai. Though self-taught he quickly managed to set crucial impulses for these scenes.
