transmediale.09 DEEP NORTH

Looking beyond the alarmist scenarios of environmental, social and economic catastrophes to be expected in the wake of global warming, the essential question isn't that of how to avoid these processes, but to examine the need for a fundamental shift in cultural perception with respect to nature, culture and technology. With DEEP NORTH, transmediale.09 focused on the impact and unavoidable consequences of this pending global transformation - the crossing of a point of no return akin to the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago.

With artists, speakers and visitors from across the globe transmediale wrapped up at Berlin's landmark 'House of World Cultures' on February 1, 2009. We would like to thank all of our participants, partners, contributors, and the many great teams that came together to set up and run such a complex, poetically charged and thought provoking event!

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?

To take part in the online discussion, please subscribe to the Yasmin Arts and Science Network list at: media.uoa.gr/yasmin

Climate Hack is a workshop for emerging researchers, designers and artists dedicated to reframing the international political climate using methods outside the traditional political rhetoric.

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.

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.
