"Floppy Films - no more than 1.44 MB of moving image" was an intense three-days workshop at transmediale 2012. Ten international participants learned the techniques of squeezing short films on floppy disks, going into the gory details and obscure tweaks of video codecs, and encountering numerous technical incompatibilities, glitches, breakdowns of the delicate hardware and software in the process. On the last day, they were also taught the analog medium of hand-developed Super 8 film.

In the reSource programme, together with talks, panels and artistic presentations, some performances are taking place. At the opening night, Morten Riis will construct and play his Steam Machine Music, a homebuilt mechanical instrument made mostly from vintage Meccano parts. During the reSource Sex programme, within the panel "Commercialising Eros", Liad Hussein Kantorowicz will work as an erotic performer at an Israeli sex chat site.

The reSource programme presents two art projects, especially created for this transmediale edition: R15N, an experimental phone service created by Dmytri Kleiner, Baruch Gottlieb and the Telekommunisten Network and Google – One Week Performance Piece by Johannes P Osterhoff.

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.
