What open spaces are built into our current economy by innovation and new ideas? What kind of progress and communication strategies do we need? A performative discussion about values and responsibilities of our society.
Since 2006, as an ongoing, experimental project TRANSIT LOUNGE has evolved through many different formats to continually explore the potentials of interdisciplinary collaboration. What happens when movement becomes difficult? What happens when escape from (or to) home becomes impossible? Moving while Standing Still is a series of 3 parallel online conversations, between artists in Berlin and others from cities in Australia, the South. The exchange will eventually be traced or translated via installations or performances into a real space at transmediale.09.
