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!

Overbug is a music-performance tool designed to compose minimal and dance music. Through looping and newly arranged sound patterns, called 'Bugsounds', the programme creates complex, polyrhythmic sounds. Overbug differs from conventional linear controlled music sequencers, which arrange the sound into a linear timeline from left to right. The sound arrangement of the repeating music loops equal the visual abstraction of circular actions which built the interface through circles.
