transmediale.11 RESPONSE:ABILITY

In our post-future era of acceleration and densification of information, the state and nature of being live and online becomes one of the crucial definers of our social presence. Response and action are compressed into an existential here and now triggering a durée of continuous digital stimulation. With RESPONSE:ABILITY transmediale.11 explored the emerging qualities of liveness as a fundamental nature of our present digital culture and discusses the abilities, that are required to respond to social, political and economic processes triggered by the intensity of our participation and interaction.

transmediale 2k+12 in/compatible

Incompatibility is the condition arising when things are not working together. Given the current worldwide proclamations of crisis, be they political, financial, technological or environmental, it may seem as if incompatible elements and situations are everywhere, that everything is failing. Ironically, it is the supposedly ever-more compatible media-scape, where everything connects, that render such crises instantly visible.

in/compatible.research workshop & conference

The in/compatible research conference took place on November 16 - 18 at the Vilém Flusser Archive of UdK Berlin with the support of the Digital Aesthetics Research Centre/Centre for Digital Urban Living of Aarhus University.

For three days PhD students, researchers and lecturers addressed and discussed the in/compatible theme of transmediale 2012. Read full post

reSource Statement of Interest

The reSource for transmedial culture is a new framework for festival-related projects that happen throughout the year in the city of Berlin with decisive touchdowns at each festival. The statement of interest is a call for partners and collaborations on a number of additional projects in the process of creating a distributed platform throughout 2012 and beyond, by envisioning the festival as a peer-production context of knowledge and research.

The Historical Online Video Programme

On transmediale.de during February 2012

Joshua Light Show , Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History

The Joshua Light Show

With Manuel Göttsching, Oneohtrix Point Never and Supersilent with Stian Westerhus.

At the centre of the performance programme is the legendary Joshua Light Show, who in the 1960s appeared at the New York Fillmore East club alongside Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Originally working with an entire arsenal of film-, overhead-, and slide-projectors, colour wheels and various light-producing and reflecting objects, founder Joshua White will, after a long break, perform again in a setting which combines analogue with modern digital projection techniques. As part of transmediale, and in cooperation with CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts, a series of collaborations with musicians will be initiated, bringing together analogue and digital sound-production, and featuring exponents of so-called “hauntology pop”.
