transmediale.10 FUTURITY NOW!

Much of 20th century society strove to depict 2010 as a shining example of a future framed by technological progress and social harmony. But as 2010 arrived it was clear that global society was neither the utopia nor the dystopia traditionally presented. FUTURITY NOW! invited for the creation of new templates for the future and asked not what the future has in store for us, but what it is that we have in store for the future.

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.

Julien Maire: The Inverted Cone

The Inverted Cone

Julien Maire
installation digital image

The Inverted Cone is a new installation, premiering at transmediale.10, which uses a constellation of projection devices to create a condition of atemporality, where our memories of the past, and our experience of the present, collide. When participating in the heuristic process of engaging with this work, the viewer automatically becomes a media-archeologist, experiencing distinct chronologies simultaneously.
