Steam Machine Music - ConstructionSteam Machine Music is a homebuilt mechanical instrument made mostly from vintage Meccano parts. The instrument is driven by a steam engine that provides the whole instrument with energy. The sound material is generated from various strings, dynamos and music boxes but the most important sound generating part is the sound of the machine itself, the rhythmic patterns and pulsating drones of the steam engine, the squeaking of the gear trains.

Watch Me WorkLiad works as an erotic performer at an Israeli sex chat site. The usage of cameras, computers and projectors enables the viewers to peer into the live exchange of cyber sex work between sex worker and client... The performance will be presented as part of the panel "Commercialising Eros".
Sexuality of MachinesSince the 1990s, some experiences in the queer and activist scene showed how to transfer an experimental hacker and DIY attitude from technology to the body and to the broader concept of sexuality.
Porn, Patriotism and Paranoia on the Chinese InternetIn this talk and screening of relevant film clips, Katrien Jacobs offers a fascinating glimpse into the unique tactics and flavours of Chinese pornography and its associated subcultures. The talk is divided into five topics, each represented by a film clip and followed by vote by and discussion with the audience. These topics will be: 1. Chinese DIY Porn; 2. Japanese AV Dubbing; 3. Movement of the Grass Mud Horse; 4. Soft Erotic Revival; 5. Sex and the Scouting Researcher.
Isolation and Empowerment after Web 2.0After the emergence of Web 2.0, analysing the topology and the effects of artistic and hacktivist practices both offline and online implies a reflection on power structures, networking methodologies as well as on the tension between increasing connectivity and virtualisation of social relationships. Part 1: Trapped and Tracked | Part 2: Mobilising the Unrepresentable
Launch of the thematic publication "World of the News"This is the launch event of "World of the News", the publication that grew out of the PhD workshop + conference in/compatible research (November 16-18, 2011, UdK, http://darc.imv.au.dk/incompatible/). An initial introduction will be followed by readings from the newspaper, a discussion in a café-like atmosphere as well as a live feed from the in/compatible news channel. Unlike education in many countries, the newspaper is free.
in/compatible research practicesAs a follow-up to the In/compatible Research PhD workshop/conference organised last November by the Digital Aesthetics Research Centre of Aarhus University and the reSource for transmedial culture at the University of the Arts in Berlin, a group of international PhD scholars proposing a practice-oriented approach where the exploration and creation of artistic practices become method.
In/compatible materialAs an intervention within the flow of transmediale, the In-compatible Material Laboratory inserts itself in the cut between the compatible protocol(s) and an in-compatible/inverse divinatory materiality through the setup of a series of experimental situations.
CODED CULTURES - Subcuratorship beyond Media ArtsFor transmediale 2012 CODED CULTURES make the city into an interface based on trans-disciplinary examples from intersecting fields like contemporary art, media art, street art, audio-visual arts, exhibition design and interfaces in order to transform the city into a playful and unstable environment for artistic interventions.
Crashed Economy: Debugging and RebootingTo face the current economical crisis means to question dualistic perspectives such as capitalism vs anti-capitalism as well as to imagine a sustainable network of values in which accumulation of growth and precarity are substituted by a grassroots ecology of sharing built on an increasing capacity for sociability. Part 1: What Capitalism? | Part 2: Hacking Finance, Rethinking Trade
reSource Launch - Zombie Play in the Ludic Salon: reSourcing an Exquisite Media CorpseThe Ludic Interface Research Group (L.I.R.G.) cordially invites everyone at transmediale 2012 to partake in a contemporary version of the surrealist game Le Cadavre Exquis. At the end, this Ludic Salon will lead into the official launch of the reSource for transmedial culture initiative, which will spread the transmediale across the entire calendar year.
Activism Beyond the Interface: The Sandbox ProjectActivism Beyond the Interface (The Berlin Sandbox) is a two-part playful live collaboration consisting of a preliminary “lab” (3 hours) followed by a “multimedia intervention” (2 hours) to rethink the composition of online and offline platforms for collaboration, and their economic, aesthetic and ethical expressions.
Beyond in/compatibleThe reSource for transmedial culture is an initiative of transmediale, which aims to create a distributed platform and a peer-production context of research, knowledge and artistic practices throughout 2012 and beyond. The Vilém Flusser Residency programme aims to support conceptual projects and works that are towards a form of practice. The programme seeks to encourage new research approaches and further develop existing projects.
Re-enactment VideospiegelThe connection between the video festival, the work and the artists is somewhat loose. Successful videos feature at countless festivals, but often their creators do not even attend the screenings. And yet every one of these screenings – at least those with videos of short running times – is totally unique. The works are gathered together in a programme which, under normal circumstances, is never screened again outside of the festival. We have therefore decided for the 25th anniversary of transmediale...
Re-enactment VideospiegelWe have decided for the 25th anniversary of transmediale to again screen the opening programme of the first VideoFilmFest '88. With works by Michaela Buescher, Maria Vedder, Hanspeter Ammann and many more. | 17:00-18:45, 18:45-20:30, 20:30-22:15
Guided EconomicsIn this first curated screening of transmediale 2012’s video programme, two works are brought together which reflect on the ideological principles through which neo-liberal structures are implemented again and again in our society. With works by Harun Farocki and René Frölke.
web.video the new net.art?If net art is cashing in on the utopian promise of video art, what dream does net art have left for itself? Has it come full circle? Is net.art now at its end? And is it true what the net art veteran Mark Amerika proclaims via Twitter, that "video is the new net art"?
Workshop:In this workshop we will document art works of your preference, but we will also have a list of works, recent, and not so recent, for you to look at and enjoy. | Date: 2 Feb 2012 10:00 - 14:00, Location: transmediale archive, Podewil, Klosterstr. 68, room nr. 239, U-Klosterstraße (U2)
SuspensionA standard criticism of the sender-receiver model of mass media is that individuals are given no opportunity to insert themselves into the universal flow of images. This runs contrary to a strategy for longing and identification – affective deep in the psyche of the individual, and increasingly, in the marketing of products... With works by Anthony Discenza, Jesse McLean and Andreas Schneider.
I'm the EnemyThe term "compatibility" comes from the Latin compatere, to have compassion. This programme deals not so much with the incompatibility of human beings with their technology, but with their lack of mercy for their fellow creatures. With works by Peter Callas, Steve Reinke, Neozoon, Nadav Assor, Bjørn Melhus and Roee Rosen.
Videomakers Unite!An open conversation about video art and net culture, media collectives and counter-publics. The ambivalent relationship between technical innovation and social progress, between access and control, appears deeply ingrained within electronic media. With this is mind, Videomakers Unite! takes a critical look back at the 1980s and 90s discourse around video and the net, and relates this to the production of present-day counter-cultures within the fields of political and artistic, individual and collective practices.
Aiming at the SkyTelevision in two senses, both as technical instrument of image transmission, and as metaphor for communication over great distances. With works by Raphael Montañez Ortiz, eteam, Babak Afrassiabi & Nasrin Tabatabai, Walid Mattar, Basma Al Sharif and Stefan Zeyen.
transmediale UnarchivedIn computer jargon, to "unarchive" something is to de-compress data, such as from a zip file or on a backup drive. The archive in this form is an unaccessible, incompatible being. It is inherently in need of unpacking. Join us in this session in an attempt to dig into the 25-year old transmediale archive and unpack some of its impenetrable secrets.
Vertical DistractionHuman beings have created a world for themselves with their cities – a world in which they appear to be incompatible. A diverse range of reflections on the relationship between city, human and architecture. With works by Bjørn Melhus, Jeremy Bailey, Shelly Silver, Dennis Feser, Till Nowak and many more.
Search For A MethodThis “Open Conversation” brings together a range of participants whose work traverses historiographic and contemporary curatorial practices with a relevancy for discussing the role of historiographic methodologies in relation to art production within the spheres of “archaeology” to “variantology”.

The works are gathered together in a programme which, under normal circumstances, is never screened again outside of the festival. We have therefore decided for the 25th anniversary of transmediale...
Parallel WorldsAll attempts to make contact with the afterlife, whether through religion or magic, are doomed to failure. We cannot communicate with the dead, only with their effigies. With works by RASKIN (Rotraut Pape & Andreas Coerper), Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys, Sophie Kahn and Laura Horelli.
The Sound of the End of MusicImage and sound in the moving-image are ruled by very different principles, and in the age of film had to be laboriously synchronized. Indeed film music seems to lead an independent life. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that it is only rarely perceived consciously in film, it has a fundamental effect on the visuals; this extremely fruitful incompatibility is the theme of this programme. With works by Distel & Guyer, Dalibor Baric, Nicolas Provost, People Like Us and many more.
Burning SymbolsThe image, at least since the advent of television, has gained precedence over the written word in the flow of information. If there is no image, or no images are brought into circulation, then there is no meaning. With works by Dellbrügge & de Moll, Nicolás Rupcich, Tom Holert, Susan Bowman, Daya Cahen and Reza Haeri.
Arab Shorts – State of FluiditySequences, replaying experiences in sentiments. The most intimate thoughts are piercing non-verbal disclosures, mere insinuations, that run like fault-lines along the shell of the earth. We live in cities along these natural fissures, concealing faults, and lines. The lips of cities are inflamed and the skin of the world is highly irritable. With works by Sherif El Azma, Akram Zaatari, Solmaz Shahbazi and many more.
War Machines: Military Technologies between Civility and Authorityin/compatible systems: Using the strange confluence of military technological development and private tech start-ups in Israel as a case study, experts excavate the ways in which the improvisational nature of combat and the split second creative decision making taking place in the “fog of war” get embedded into the very tools we claim liberate us from the societies of control.
Uncorporated Subversion: Tactics, Glitches, Archeologiesin/compatible aesthetics: Today, the average user is obliged to stay on top of the technological curve, thrust into a vortex of consumer myths, riding waves of both euphoria and disappointment. This has prompted artists and theorists to break these assured flows of media, for instance by zooming into the otherwise transparent Human Computer Interface and turning its limiting, characteristic blueprints into a revolting yet delightful spectacle.
Keynote by Jodi Dean: The Incompatible Public is Occupiedin/compatible publics: This keynote deals with the keywords communicative capitalism and occupation before the background of the recent global political resistance. Distinguishing between occupation as form and occupation as tactic Jodi Dean examines the potential and the paradoxes of such collective acts.
Business as Unusual: Financial Crisis, Computing and Money Machinesin/compatible systems: The Euro is crashing. US Debt is spiralling. Banking is in crisis but luxury goods sales are up! The global finance system is out of control, the public agora replaced by the 24/7 calculations of machines, the weakened nation state buckling under the incessant flows of virtual capital. With experts from economics, philosophy, new media studies and history of science, the panel zeroes in on the contradictions, breakdowns and incompatibilities with systems of money and finance in our calamitous era of late capitalism.
Publics in Crisis – Production, Regulation and Control of Publicsin/compatible publics: In this time of social crisis we have to ask about the potential of social media. After all it is a strong collaborative grassroots quality that qualifies them as platforms for social change. With respect to the "failed states" located inside exclusive clubs such as the G8 and the Euro-17, this panel wonders: What are seminal practices and applications of social media? What is their disruptive potential in increasingly authoritarian media landscapes?
Unstable and Vernacular: Vulgar and Trivial Articulations of Networked Communicationin/compatible aesthetics: Over the last decade, the history of the web and all its “common” qualities – or digital folklore – has become a growing field of study. This panel will reflect on different on/offline (dead and alive) DIY networks focusing on their vulgar vernaculars, ideologies and customs, and on how we came to appraise them.
Keynote by Matthew Fuller: Knotty Problems in the Fables of Computingin/compatible aesthetics: Computer Science has a number of knotty problems that are part of the iteration of one of the central problems in computing, that of speed and intractability as it unfolds in relation to computing applications. In themselves these problems are profound and fascinating micro-worlds that work in the 'timeless' storyworlds of fables, but they also have significant conceptual and practical spill-over involving spatial, social and aesthetic dimensions.
The Future of Creativity by Jeremy BaileyAt transmediale 2012 in/compatible, Jeremy Bailey is "pleased to present new software to save us all. Software that will not only rescue our creative souls but also our economic ones."
this is a boys club pt. 3: scream: lack! lack! I am missing the gap by Flora Könemannthis is a boys club pt. 3: scream: lack! lack! I am missing the gap Performance by Flora Könemann This is a Boys Club by Flora Könemann is an experimental on-going solo sound live project which connects electronic music and the use of analog devices such as tape players and typewriters in order to create a soundscape mainly consisting of repetitive sounds / loops plus pre-recorded and live spoken voice and noise layers.
Joshua Light Show ft. SupersilentAt transmediale 2012 The Joshua Light Show presents its light projections for the first time in Europe since the 1960s. Tonight JLS are joined by the band Supersilent and the guitarist Stian Westerhus from Norway.
Liquid State Machine by Wolfgang Spahn and Martin HowseThe performance Liquid State Machine begins with the subtle influence across two distinct systems – the kinetic-electromagnetic-noise apparatus of Martin Howse and the analogue/digital projection-machines of Wolfgang Spahn – arriving at an ultimate feedback between light (waves) and sound. LSM presents a play with transformations between distinct physical system domains.
ideomotoric chatroom + The Glitch Moment(um)A double-bill of digital glitches and analogue feedback: ideomotoric chatroom by Billy Roisz with dieb13, Mario de Vega; The Glitch Moment(um) by Rosa Menkmann. These two performances lure the ghosts from the image and sound machines: glitch-expert Rosa Menkman demonstrates the history of each of these digital artefacts while Billy Roisz, dieb13 and Mario de Vega interact with each other by way of an "ideomotoric circuit loop."
Thermal by Mario de VegaVulnerability, molecular irritation, high frequency reception, and electromagnetic activity amplification – Central to this event is the modification of the molecular composition of different materials through microwaves. During the process, electromagnetic activity and high frequency fluctuations produced by the manipulation of microwaves are amplified and exhibited as a monolithic structure.
Joshua Light Show ft. Oneohtrix Point NeverAfter the concert with Supersilent two days ago tonight sees another performance by The Joshua Light Show, this time in conjunction with a concert by the American one man band Oneohtrix Point Never.
The Shunted House by Valerio Tricoli"In my Father's house are many rooms..." John 14:2

For each one of us a different, individual and fluid visualisation appears onscreen. This event is one of three occasions when the artists will be present for a show and tell of the work.
“What is Live?” – From the Aura to the AvatarThe decision of Hans Flesch to transmit recorded vinyl instead of live music on the radio sparked heated discussion among many of his famous contemporaries in 1930’s. In the 1950s, ‘liveness’ was discovered by the mass-media as an artistic material for an aesthetic of ‘Indetermancy’. In the 1960s, both Nam June Paik and Umberto Eco were devoted to the ‘liveness’ of television. “Today media-based live performances or online services (such as Second Life) mix ‘liveness’ with pre-generated and real-time elements. This gives the question ‘What is Live?’ a new relevance.”

Controlled InvasionCalling the game input the “controller” was the first lie. In fact, games control us – and we like it. Controlled Invasion is a vehicle for drawing attention to the liberating, enthralling, gratifying and, yes, dangerous power of interactive games. The workshop leaders will engage their guests and distant collaborators to build a framework of game design ethics that recognises the equal measures of pleasure and peril inherent to this persuasive medium. Thorsten and Heather will interview experts in art and technology about the human body, spirituality, and social philosophy.
Urban Screens – Visualisation zones for a media saturated urban societyAs a follow up of the workshop Reclaim the Screens! during transmediale.10 and based on the Media Facades Festivals Berlin 2008 and Europe 2010 we explore how artists, curators and creative people can utilise the urban screens infrastructure as social vision panels. What is the communicative, intercultural potential of public screens? Which socio-aesthetic forms of interaction enable a dialogue between different local scenes, how can we engage the public in the creative process to contribute to local community building?
Workshop No. 3 Music Industry and Free Culture – documentationFree Culture Incubator Workshop No. 3: 'Music Industry and Free Culture', hosted by Andrea Goetzke, took place on Friday 28 January 2011 from 16:00 - 20:00, followed by an informal get-together 20:00 - 22:00.
Award Ceremony tm.11One of the annual festival highlights, the event will take place tonight, Saturday 5 Feb, in the Auditorium. Stephen Kovats, Dieter Daniels, Micz Flor, Claudia Becker and Mark Surman will talk us through all of this year's 14 nominated artworks and projects. Finally we will find out who wins transmediale.11's transmediale Award, the Vilém Flusser Theory Award and the new Open Web Award! At the end of the ceremony Stephen Kovats will moreover introduce Kristoffer Gansing, the new artistic director of transmediale joining us from Sweden.
CoS Workshop 4: EmotionNew forms of expression, new dimensionalities for time and space, new semantics for relationships and connectedness, new sensorialities - all these factors determine the emergence of additional forms through which emotions can be expressed or experienced, propagated and observed. Workshop participants will build a wearable communication device via which one can receive the emotional conditions of an observed-one as low-current electrical stimuli on various parts of your body.
CoS Workshop 3: TimeWe find ourselves in a perceived state of continuous-present and time-based landmarks for memory and recall that are digital-assisted and externalised onto search mechanisms. This impacts the traditional architecture of linear timelines towards a more interactive concept, as Workshop participants will create in the workshop using the web and other digitally networked tools.
CoS Workshop 2: SpaceCommunication technologies not only altered our perception of space but also evoke a sense of global connectivity. NeRVi (NeoRealismo Virtuale, engl. Virtual NeoRealism), a term coined by Iaconesi and Persico, describes this condition of ubiquity, where multiple realities are produced and remixed by location-based technologies and augmented reality. Space becomes a map of personal narratives. In the workshop we will use smartphones and a geographic information system to create an augmented reality narrative across the city of Berlin.
CoS Workshop 1 : Identity (Part 2)Our identities are redefined as diffused, open and emergent, perceivable yet elusive, ephemeral yet drastically present, single yet multiple, localised yet ubiquitous. During the workshop participants will create a connective emergent "Identity" from scratch.

Book Launch: From Image to Interaction: Meaning and Agency in the Arts (Arjen Mulder, 2010)In From Image to Interaction, Arjen Mulder traces evolutionary lines in the fine art of the past five hundred years that have led directly to the interactive art of today. He investigates the origins of modern art from Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo to Kandinsky, Mondrian and Paul Klee, whom he regards not only as great artists but above all as great media theorists. Step by step, Mulder develops a surprising perspective on the genealogy of art from 1910 to 2010 and the role and value of visual culture and design in the present.
Book Launch: Mobile Medien. Zur Genealogie des Mobilfunks und zur Ideengeschichte von Virtualität (Clara Völker)This book examines ideas of the virtual of the ancient world, the modern era and the 20th century. Linked to this, it reconstructs how mobile media came into being as successor technologies of optical telegraphy, electrical telephony and radio technology.
Book Launch: Interface Criticism. Aesthetics Beyond the Buttons. (Søren Pold & Christian Ulrik, 2011)Interface Criticism is not another design manual but a critical investigation for readers interested in the aesthetic, cultural and political dimensions of interfaces. With contributions from leading researchers within the field, the book covers a wide range of aesthetic expressions and critically investigates the aesthetics of interfaces in ways that transcend the iconic surface of the graphical user interface and goes beyond the buttons.
Book Launch: Hybridkultur (Yvonne Spielmann, 2010)In her detailed study Hybridkultur, Yvonne Spielmann suggests a critical concept of hybridity that, in an interdisciplinary view, interrelates media study with cultural study debates. The study argues that hybridity constitutes a contemporary strategy to aesthetically intervene into internationally operating media industries. In the book, this hybridity is amongst others highlighted in the non-western and highly technological context of media and culture of Japan.

The Future of Art: An Immediated Autodocumentary Screening by and with Gabriel Shalom & Patrizia KommerellWhat are the defining aesthetics of art in the networked era? How is mass collaboration changing notions of ownership of art? How does micro-patronage change the way artists produce and distribute artwork? The Future of Art screening begins a conversation on these and other topics and invites discussion from the audience. The video is a rough cut of the footage created and produced at transmediale.11 as part of the on-site Immediated Autodocumentary process.

Sharism: The More You Share the More You Get by and with Michelle Thorne, Barry Threw & Jon PhillipsSharism is the pledge of Creative Commons. In opposition to the legal concerns regarding loss of copyright control today's sharing environment is more protected than one might think. Many new social applications make it easy to set terms-of-use along the sharing path and their infringement will be challenged not just by the law, but by your community: Your audience – who benefit from your sharing – as the gatekeepers of your rights! This workshop demonstrates the benefits of sharing through examples of Sharism projects and Creative Commons licenses, while challenging views on real value and contributions, both economic and creative.
Intelligent Bacteria : Art in Culture (a workshop series). How to make cheap and fun slant culture.In this workshop members of the group HONF teach science through an artistic approach in order to demonstrate that science doesn’t have to be expensive, dangerous or inaccessible nor only possible with a lab. Participants will learn how to make their own slant culture, colour it with natural dyes and make a test tube rack from paper. At the end everyone is invited to take their slant culture home and pass on the experience, technique and culture to others.

COUNTERBLAST: The Rogue McLuhanKicking off the Herbert Marshall McLuhan Centennial year, this discussion will separate the aphorism from the cliché in one of McLuhan's most radical yet relatively under-explored works, COUNTERBLAST, which the panelists will use to discuss McLuhans transition from English professor to timeless media guru. The event will launch a special hardcover 'limited edition' facsimile of the original COUNTERBLAST 1954, published by the Gingko Press exclusively for transmediale on the event of the McLuhan anniversary!
resom (DJ-Set)This is how Resom describes her sound: Dark elektro robodisko to uplifting breaks or poppy minimal freakel techno or chain reaction-dub – everything works, but please don't be nice – be spooky, be bad, be dark. Just be good to her!
Elektronik zum Klingen bringenA workshop for children that explains, through the construction of a simple electronic musical instrument, the basic principles of sound generation with digital playback devices.

Mapping, Money and Meaning by and with Shapeshifters: Eric PoettschacherLately creative enterprises and their codes of conduct have moved from the periphery to centre stage with communication between the “old economy” policy makers and creative entrepreneurs increasing significantly. Shapeshifters sees a huge potential in new investment models and resources. To ensure the benefitting of the common good, since 2006 Shapeshifters has been working on a global research project developing a mapping of Creative Tribes and Value Zones for more sustainable connections between creative producers and investors. In this pre-registered workshop Eric Pöttschacher will present his research results to the public for the first time.
Ludic Salon: Shaping Play Spaces within Media CulturesFor some time now, an increasing conjecture of play and playfulness has been unfolding in media art and digital culture. Ludic Interfaces invites the public to partake in a playful and interactive discussion in which the meta-reflective potential of ludology for contemporary media art will be tested.
Audiovisualogie: Bild-Ton Relationen in Kunst, Technik, Wissenschaft und UnterhaltungThe digitisation of Audiovisuality has taken place through a hybridisation of media formats, artistic genres and cultural contexts rather than solely technological. The idea behind the lecture by Dieter Daniels is that this development has already been in process for 250 years – since the Enlightenment, in the 19th century and the 1920s until today.
Spatial Sound Sculpture by Christopher Warnow & Daniel FrankeNominated for the transmediale Award 2011, this interactive sound installation by Christopher Warnow and Daniel Franke is more than just an interpretation of a composition by Rutger Zuydervelt.

For each one of us a different, individual and fluid visualisation appears onscreen. This event is one of three occasions when the artists will be present for a show and tell of the work.
Latent Figure ProtocolLatent Figure Protocol (LFP) is an installation and a live science experiment that uses DNA samples to create readable, representational images. Several times throughout the festival artist Paul Vanouse will come to his bio art lab in the HacKaWay Zone, talking about his work and performing the experiment. Each time the results are recorded and can be watched until the fluorescence of the DNA eventually fades out for the process to be repeated.
The Collapse of PAL by Rosa MenkmanIn this audiovisual performance Rosa Menkman reflects on the PAL signal and its supposed end. Although PAL is now obsolete and outdated, it still lives on indirectly in newer technologies like the DVB signal. The Collapse of PAL is an homage to the typical artefacts of the analogue signal, which Rosa Menkman captured using feedback, image bending techniques, a broken digital camera, digital compression, video bending devices and a game console. The soundtrack is crafted using the sounds of a Cracklebox, an old Casio keyboard, European telephone signals, Morse code etc.
Himalaya Variations by Tina TonagelIn this solo performance two overhead projectors function as an analogue VJ tool. From a combination of analogue and automated sound production, subtle, polyrhythmic sounds grow. Image and music merge thanks to the brilliant colour and light display on the illuminated surfaces of the projectors.
Self-Reproduction Loops by EosinEosin believes in ANALOG+DIGITAL, rather than ANALOG vs. DIGITAL. Self-Reproduction Loops is a tribute to the grooves of the vinyl record, to its crackles and clicks, skips and pops. Eosin employs pre-recorded vinyl noises and loops to create time sequences for use in live improv situations which she blends with a real-time layer of analog DJing. Combined, both layers weave unforeseeable compositions where each sound surpasses its own state of noise, loop or representation to become part of the overall sonority.
Voice and Iteration by Dorothy of the DayDorothy of the Day is a solo vocal loops project by Australian singer Rachel Holmshaw. Inspired by Hollywood musical films from the 1930s, she weaves multi-layered, slow and repetitive soundscapes that send their listeners into a hypnotic, nostalgic dream world.
TOUR de VINYL - das eigenwilligste Radrennen der WeltThis audio-visual performance is a homage to the history of record experiments. This time the reproducing device becomes a machine célibataire à la Marcel Duchamp. By combining the record player with an exercise bicycle the Discjockey2000 is generated, an unconventional musical instrumentarium for generating incomparable analog sounds.
Preslav Literary School (live)As Preslav Literary School, Adam Thomas makes live tape collages using sounds drawn from an ever-growing archive of self-generated or discovered outsider noise, found sound and spoken word cassettes. A process of transference, overdubbing and live manipulation reworks these source materials into compelling, ambient broadcasts.
Triple Feature by Fair UseFair Use looks at our accelerating culture through the electronic performance and remixing of cinema. The trio uses the picture and soundtrack of culturally significant movies, drastically compressed in time, as the sole materials for an improvised set which interrogates our cinematic memories through frenetic audiovisual processing and re-narration of the cinematic object. Fair Use will be performing a triple feature based on The Wizard of Oz, Snow White and Kubrick's 2001, investigating three aspects of establishment of the self in an unknown universe.
BodyHackDaito Manabe has created a 'face instrument' that uses electric shock waves to artificially move people's faces in synch with music. During the workshop, participants have the opportunity to “hack” one another's faces and experience a sensation beyond natural human facial expression.
Braun Tube Jazz Band by Ei Wadalive performance by Ei Wada Braun Tube Jazz Band
bacteria orchestraDiese für den transmediale Award nominierte, akustisch-performative Installation der indonesischen Künstlergruppe HONF (The House of Natural Fibre) stellt eine Reaktion auf das religiös motivierte, nationale Verbot alkoholischer Getränke in Indonesien dar. Auf der transmediale.11 verwandelt sich die Installation zudem in die Performance bacteria orchestra, wenn sie als komplexes Instrument Kunst, Wissenschaft und Lebendiges vereint.
Performance Night #1: GENRE COLLAGE, People Like Us / DONJON, Cécile Babiole & Vincent GoudardTonight LIVE:RESPONSE presents two audiovisual performances which both revolve around cut-up techniques to remix items and icons of our contemporary pop culture. DONJON by Cécile Babiole and Vincent Goudard gleefully deconstructs a wide range of objects, particularly audiovisual equipment: turntables, radios, computers, musical instruments, telephones, video cameras – but also cocktail blenders, battery chickens, and various other domestic and fantastic appliances of ages past and present. In Genre Collage People Like Us manipulate the symbols, patterns and film stars of selected movie genres/sub-genres.
Performance Night #2: INJECT, Herman Kolgen / FACE VISUALIZER, Daito Manabe with Ei WadaThis evening LIVE:RESPONSE, the transmediale.11 Performance programme, presents two extraordinary performances that both, in different ways, hack the normal state of the human body. For INJECT Herman Kolgen has exposed his body quite extremely to the impact of water and a lack of oxygen, while, with Face Visualizer: Instrument and Copy, Daito Manabe has created a ‘face instrument’ by applying small electroshocks to people’s faces making them move in synch with music.
Repetitionr with Les Liens Invisibles, Geoff Cox & Franco BerardiDemocratic processes have been quite ineffective recently. So it's time to change to One Click-Democracy. With Repetitionr.com activism can now be carried out comfortably from your armchair! Franco Berardi (BIFO) will introduce a critique of emergent online forms of democracy and explore the fantasies of political involvement. Case studies will help us to take a closer look at Repetitionr itself, a service offering the most advanced web 2.0 technologies to make participatory democracy a truly user-centered experience.

Response:Activities – Strategies of Political ParticipationHacks, flash mobs, online petitions: never have there been so many opportunities for free expression and social participation as there are today. Media activists join forces worldwide and communally create platforms for themes and people that to date had no support. We present a number of projects and people working with the activist potential of the Internet and other technologies – thereby developing radically new policy approaches in terms of self-determination, participation and integration.
The Currency of the Commons – The Price and Value of Free CultureIn recent years, the free culture movement has been very much focused on the development of alternative rights and licensing systems. Appropriate economic benchmarks outside traditional business models are only now starting to gain traction: crowdsourcing, micro-funding and shared economy – new watchwords of a society that no longer wants to rely solely on capitalist principles. Nevertheless, there are many questions – how to convert ‘free’ cultural services into an economic currency, for example, or how a long-term culture of worth that is based on free access rather than supply and demand can be achieved.
Lost in The Open? Navigating the Open Web and Free Culture‘Free’ and ‘open’ – it sounds so idealistic and limitless. The so-called Open Culture has produced many alternative approaches in dealing with knowledge and information, but, on the other hand, the utopias of free access constantly breed confusion. This discussion focuses on the future agenda of the Free Culture movement and provides guidance for all those who are confused by too much ‘freedom’.
Liquid Democracy Workshop by and with Friedrich LindenbergFriedrich Lindenberg from Liquid Democracy e.V and the Open Knowedge Foundation invites workshop participants to openly discuss opportunities and challenges of web-based political discourse. Friedrich will present some of the theoretical concepts which Liquid Democracy e.V have developed along with some of their practical applications such as Adhocracy, a prototype policy-making platform. Participants are invited to present their own visions of cooperative policy, legislative processes and tools, and to discuss critiques and specific case studies.
Open Knowledge Foundation Workshop by and with Jonathan Gray & Daniel DietrichThis walk-in workshop provides the chance to meet the people behind the Open Knowledge Foundation, a UK not-for-profit that expanded into Germany in mid 2010. Daniel Dietrich, the representative of OKF Germany, will give examples of projects where the foundation helped to bring open standards. Participants will learn about different forms of knowledge transfer and various approaches towards creating open access to knowledge. > okfn.org/
Drumbeat Workshop and Consultancy Bureau by and with Henrik Moltke & Mark SurmanThe Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet. Mozilla Drumbeat is a new initiative of the foundation. It is a global community of people who steward the open web, explaining and protecting the internet as a critical public resource. This workshop represents an opportunity for participants to learn more about Mozilla Drumbeat and get individual consultancy on their own concrete plans and projects. Pre-registration is required.
Facebook Resistance WorkshopFacebook – worth more than 30 billion US$ – is taking over the social web, and its uniform design follows Mark Zuckerberg's ideals. What if you could change Facebook's laws, add a Dislike button or create custom backgrounds? You can! Preregistered workshop participants will learn how browser extensions (e.g. Firefox Add-Ons) enable us to locally modify Facebook and distribute it to the masses. In the presentation on Saturday Tobias Leingruber presents the experimental and artistic Facebook hack concepts to festival visitors before turning these concepts into a real software that users worldwide can download and share.
Creative Fundraising & Microfunding Initiatives Workshop by and with Peter SundeFlattr is a new online platform that provides a new revenue stream for content creators as it helps consumers to make (small) donations in a straight-forward and uncomplicated way. It works by Flattr users paying a small flatrate fee and creators placing a Flattr button on their websites: every month the user's fee is divided between the creators in relation to how many websites he clicked. Flattr founder Peter Sunde is joined by the rest of the Flattr team at transmediale.11 to present the platform. Workshop participants will get hands on help and support with the technical intergration of Flattr into their platforms.
Open Government and the Citizen 2.0: The Future of Participative Democracy Workshop by and with Daniel Dietrich & Christian KreutzOpen data and social media change the way citizens can interact and engage with government. This workshop presents emerging e-participation platforms to analyse and discuss key factors for these projects to become successful. The workshop will address issues such as open data and more transparency as well as the question of the local context in relation to digital participation in the global internet.
Open Video Workshop by and with Elizabeth StarkThis workshop with Elizabeth Stark, co-founder of the Open Video Alliance, will address the current state of video in different fields, and will explain the reasons why video can't currently be copied and pasted like text or images. Scenarios for the future of video will be discussed and charted out, as the focus turns to tangible solutions addressing the most pressing issues that face a global open video environment. Open Zone, Response:Activities - Workstation

interACTicons by and with Ursula EndlicherWhat if Kafka's Internet suddenly came true and text were suddenly undecipherable as too many algorithms cancel out each other’s choice of uncensored words and all online communication were limited to emoticons? These are the ideas behind interACTicons, a project enacting and visualising our online habits through the collection and performance of JPEGs, GIFs and videos by Ursula Endlicher that comprises of an online archive, several hands-on workshops and a final participatory performance.

Access Denied – DI_Yourself (Focus Discussion, Track 3)We are currently witnessing an increasing biologisation of the media. Our action and reaction patterns in this environment of biomedia have sensory, tactile and emotional integration – computer and brain as a synthesis. The participants in this debate on the one hand the impact of such processes on our biological and social body, and on the other hand, the kinds of artistic-experimental self-empowerment strategies such re-modelling has already brought about.
Democratic:Ability – Open Forms of Politics (Focus Discussion, Track 3)This focus discussion explores the relationship between open movements, collaboration, hacking and politics. By looking at examples from hacking and open source cultures it asks to what extend such new forms of distributed collaboration and rhizomatic creativity seriously open up new political perspectives. We also ponder the relationship between hacking, open-source and the market, particularly the boundaries between art, commerce and politics.
Delimination of Life - Affective Bodies and Biomedia (Keynote Conversation, Track 3)The new quality of live media and networks, that is, the hybridisation and increasing biologisation of communication technologies, create a biomedial environment in which the body no longer seems to be the basis of perception.
The Right to Exit (Focus Discussion, Track 2)The supposedly infinite freedom of the Net is a permanent online participation, communication and live switching between real and virtual life. The resulting unspoken fear of turning away from the Network has led to increasingly loud calls for a way out. The focus panel Exit Lab discusses and provides perspectives on the ‘right to exit’, which is not only an absolute rejection but a reversal of the Net’s power structures and scaffolding.
Life in Excess: Transpersonality and Autonomy in the Age of Biopower (Focus Discussion, Track 2)Participants: Roberto Esposito (it), Judith Revel (fr) Moderation: Matteo Pasquinelli (it) This focus discussion explores the processes of subjectivation as field of resistance and power asymmetry. How can we organize movements of resistance to immaterial and material forms of biopower without necessarily becoming the other of power?
Life at Work: Bioeconomy and the Crisis of Cognitive Capitalism (Keynote-Conversation, Track 2)In this keynote conversation (Track 2) the philosophers Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi and Maurizio Lazzarato, investigate the new dimension of bioeconomy, that is the economy of life in the realm of digital networks.
Testing Presence: The Unfolding Exchange (Keynote Conversation, Track 1)Tim Etchells (uk), Adrian Heathfield (uk) In the context of an increasingly mobile culture, participants discuss key development processes and the paradigm of physical co-presence as a common space of mutual experience.
Fingerprints? - Identity, Indexicality and Biomedia (Focus Discussion, Track 1)The convergence of information and laboratory technological procedures engenders biomedia that are increasingly being appropriated by the arts. Based on the performative gel electrophoresis works by US artist Paul Vanouse, the panel examines the political, science-historical and aesthetic aspects of contemporary biologisms and molecularisms.
Social ID - Focus Discussion (Track 1)In this Focus Discussion (Track 1) Salvatore Iaconesi, Derrick de Kerckhove, Ursula Endlicher, Heath Bunting and Alessandro Ludovico discuss artworks and artistic forms of practice that explore newer, fluid identity configurations characterised by physical and intangible aspects and the spaces between them.
Imaginary Travels ScreeningFilms are inherently imaginary journeys; the viewer is taken to times and places that have little to do with her current situation seated in the cinema. This gap between space and time is the theme of the programme. Starting from a film without images, various surreal and fantastic landscapes follow. The demolition of the People's Palace in Berlin (Letzter Tag der Republik) is recalled in an impressive time-lapse work by Reynold Reynolds and the silhouette of Las Vegas floates by like a strange space-ship just before a purely imagined science fiction about the Egyptian pyramids' future concludes this fascinating programme.
Live On TVThis programme presents seven contemporary positions addressing television and its successor, the Internet. Starting comically and absurdly, these short films ultimately climax into horror as professionals and amateurs expose their vulnerability to the camera in found footage clips à la YouTube and artificially staged scenes.
Desync SystemsThe short films shown in this programme address the paradoxes gathering at the margins of communication processes. While such endeavours particularly aim for functional consensus between members of a society they seemingly also engender a whole range of peculiarities. Desync Systems presents five such examples.
This Is A Good Day To Start A WarThis programme addresses the perpetual simultaneity of war and peace. The two selected works, the short film Is This a Good Way to Start a War and the feature Where Is Where? both approach the topic by mixing documentary and fictional narrative techniques.
Ho Tzu Nyen Special ScreeningOn the occasion of Ho Tzu Nyen being nominated for the transmediale Award with his work Newton this special screening programme presents three additional works by this versatile artist from Singapore.
Arab Shorts 2010 curated by Ala' YounisSituated on the borders of Arab-ness, this programme highlights the diversity of expression and experimental filmmaking in the Arab world. The programme proposes a realignment of the elements of inherited history as well as displacement, in an attempt to contemplate the shape of the Arab terrain, and the role given to this terrain in each of these films. Curated by Ala' Younis for Arab Shorts, a project of the Goethe-Institut Cairo.
Lynn Hershman Special ScreeningAmong a formidable list of awards and accolades, Lynn Hershman Leeson’s latest film Women Art Revolution consistently wins the audience, demonstrated by the standing ovations! This screening will bring together a set of works from the 1970s through to the present, curated by Laura Sillars, Director of Site Gallery, Sheffield.
Das erste Fernsehen ScreeningPresenting rarities from the Federal Film Archive this programme gives insights into the history of German TV culture. The films from the 1930s and 40s illustrate society's gradual progression towards going 'live' and the associated new possibilities of surveillance. A discussion with expert Joseph Hoppe will ultimately round out the evening.
Dial Goes AroundThis programme juxtaposes two films that, each with its own absurdity, document cornerstones in the development of telecommunications. The 1940s educational film Dial Comes to Town taught people how to use the direct dial telephone, while today – regardless of the time difference – workers in call centres outsourced to India instruct British and American callers on how to use their technical devices via service hotlines.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised ScreeningIn the 1960s, television was plainly the dominant medium against which all others had to align themselves. At the same time, an intense debate began that continues until today. This programme presents eight examples of works on the subject.
Sunday Matinee ScreeningThe matinee programme approaches the art of found image appropriation and the relationship between image and sound from two disparate poles by juxtaposing the two films Wednesday Morning Two A.M. and A Kiss From Mary Pickford. This rarely screened gem of early Soviet cinema will be accompanied by live piano music from composer Peter Gotthardt.

OPENING CEREMONYTonight, 2 February 2010, we have finally made it! transmediale.10 no longer belongs to the future but is the present! Come and celebrate with us as the festival opens at the House of World Cultures tonight. It is free of charge and no ticket is needed except for the speeches in the auditorium. Welcome – and launch yourself into futurity ... now!
Tintinnabulations For Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Charlemagne PalestineWhat better place to begin a festival examining futurity than a bell tower, that traditional demarcator of time. Before the invention of the mechanic clock, it was bell towers that manifested a concept of shared, public time. Pioneering musician Charlemagne Palestine will therefore launch transmediale.10 by ringing the bells of one of the world’s largest and most distinctive instruments – the Tiergarten Carillon, next to the HKW.
aaajiao & ByetoneAs part of the Opening Gala, transmediale.10 is proud to present an extraordinary collaboration in which Shanghai-based digital artist and computer hactivist aaajiao (Xu Wenkai) joins forces with one of the pioneers of Germany's electronic music, Byetone (Olaf Bender).
Beyond the Rest by Benjamin Laurent AmanWith this first set at the Café Stage, which is all about the strangeness of futurity, we get a taste of experimental sound art and music courtesy of Benjamin Laurent Aman. This is music that captures the senses by losing them!
Landschaft No.2 by Matthias Fritsch & collaboratorsThe world première of Landschaft No.2 – an interpretation of Matthias Fritsch’s work Landschaft – will feature instrumentation from Shingo Inao and Marco Brosolo.
Pattern Recognition feat. Ryoji Ikeda, Jürgen Reble & Thomas Könertransmediale.10 and CTM.10 are delighted to present two stunning works by some of the most important audiovisual performance artists today, that both address the materiality of moving images. Ryoji Ikeda, one of the world's finest electronic artists will perform his live set test pattern, and Jürgen Reble & Thomas Köner will mesmerise our sense with their live piece Materia Obscura.
cl_loop by Pe Langcl_loop is an audio improvisation based on the manipulation of an electromagnetic field. For this performance Pe Lang utilises three small battery-powered devices that contain two coils whose functions are contradictory; one acts as a sensor and the other as an electromagnet.
Elektrolab by Rachida Ziani & Dewi de VreeIn Elektrolab, the first of two performances which explore atemporal electrical inventions, a battery is created and dissected live on stage by Rachida Ziani & Dewi de Vree. Marvel at the audiovisual spectacle of energy being generated live...
POWEr by artificielPOWEr by artificiel is a performance in which the only source for sounds and visuals is a Tesla coil, invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891. The piece is an impressive example of how atemporality, physical energy and digital technology create complex new performative phenomena.
It's About When It Came Out by Lord Cry CryBerlin-based musician and composer Lord Cry Cry presents a mixture of music regarded as futuristic when first released, alongside contemporary music which also anticipates the future – a special of mixes covering genres like avant-garde jazz, classical, electronic, reggae and dubstep.
The Long Conversion by SosolimitedThe Long Conversion is a world première especially crafted for transmediale.10 by transmediale Award nominees Sosolimited. The piece exists alongside the extended experimental discussion Futurity Long Conversation happening simultaneously in the HKW Auditorium.
Spectral Continuum Berlin 2010 by Charlemagne PalestineThis organ concert in Frazösischer Dom is the second chance to witness Charlemagne Palestine play live in the context of transmediale.10 and CTM.10. When playing the organ, Palestine famously uses a repetitive minimal technique, which elicits a glorious earsplitting resonance from the instrument. The audience is easily convinced they are witnessing a dozen organ players at once – an unforgettable experience.
Time Machines feat. Andrea Lange + Martin Messier & Nicolas BernierTaking 1895 classic The Time Machine by H.G. Wells as a departure point, transmediale.10 presents a double bill featuring self_resolution by Berlin-based Andrea Lange and a world première of La Chambre Des Machines by Montreal duo Martin Messier & Nicolas Bernier.
raster.noton.unun feat. Atom TM + othersIn 2009 Atom TM aka Uwe Schmidt released two new albums, Liedgut on Raster-Noton and Muster on his own label, Rather Interesting. To celebrate, transmediale and CTM have invited this exceptional electronic musician in Berlin! The concert features Grischa Lichtenberger, Senking und Aoki Takamasa. To round it all up we will see Ulf Eriksson, DJ and organiser of the Full-Pull Festival in Malmö, spin a set of Detroit-style dance music.
eARTS ShowcaseThe collaborative programme between Shanghai eARTS Festival and transmediale.10 is announced and contextualised by the directors of the two festivals, Lisa Zhou, Li Zhenhua and Stephen Kovats.

Myths Of The Near Future [DJ set] feat. Ben HuangBen Huang, the man responsible for bringing Beijing’s club scene to Europe (and vice versa) completes the Myths of The Near Future evening with a DJ set at the Café Stage.
Futures ExchangePart research-station, part media-laboratory, part docking-module, the structure of the Futures Exchange in the HKW foyer, designed by the Berlin architecture practice Raumlabor, will house interdisciplinary, process-based projects exploring the notion of futurity as a cultural construct. On Friday evening the Futures Exchange will culminate in a lively performative exchange as all the artists of the Salon Projects are going to be present for chats with the public.
The Futurity Long ConversationThe conference will open on 5 February 2010 with a nonstop 9-hour Futurity Long Conversation. 21 guests will discuss projects, ideas, technologies and utopias that are already determining our future. Introduced with a keynote by Richard Barbrook.
Ideologies and Futures of the InternetNew media technologies change the ways in which knowledge is produced and communicated. Having arrived in the technological future we are facing the responsibility to redefine its social and cultural application. How this could be done will not only be discussed by Conrad Wolfram in his keynote lecture but moreover during the panel that follows.
Atemporality - A Cultural Speed Control?If progress is to go beyond the banal indulgences that give rise to a never-ending array of car shell designs then we need to analyse our present time with regard to its aesthetics and its media. The second conference session will be introduced with Bruce Sterling's Keynote on Atemporality, followed by a discussion of how the structure of the future and our sense of time have changed. How does this impact the way we do or are to act in the world?
Liquid DemocraciesIn relation to recent events social networking sites have replaced traditional news coverage. Sociology professor Tiziana Terranova moderates this third conference session examining the 'radical' roles of tools like Twitter and Facebook as 'revolutionary' media. Are we dealing with a new force, a new social mechanism for the exchange of information, a new truth? Or is it just another case of 'the emperor's new clothes'?
Wolken-Kern-Scanner – IM TROPOSPHAEREN-LABOR: OpeningThe installation IM TROPOSPHAEREN-LABOR gives insights into material that artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis generated under conditions of extraterrestrial realisties. The work addresses and plays with the intersections of contemporary art and rather surreal branches of science (nanotechnology, meteorology etc.). The Ernst Schering Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation founded in 2002 by Schering AG. Its objective is to support science and culture, especially the life sciences and contemporary art.
Art Claims Impulse: Reflective Interventions – OpeningThe next Exhibition at Gallery Art Claims Impulse "Reflective Interventions" shows works by Julius von Bismarck & Benjamin Maus, Tudo Bratu and Cecile Colle & Ralf Nuhn.
Hypno MediaEach of the six works presented in this programme explores a different communication medium through artistic means.
The Succession of the FutureAll films shown in this programme originate from post-socialist countries and reflect the encounter of Yesterday’s Society of Tomorrow – Socialism – with the reality of Today.
Matinee: Der Schweigende SternIn 1957 Hugh Stubbins designed the utopian architecture of the HKW as a conscious counterpart to the Stalin Allee in East Berlin. In the Matinée on Sunday the plot of the GDR's first Science Fiction film will unfold in this very building: Der Schweigende Stern (First Spaceship on Venus, 1959) by Kurt Maetzig pictures the dark vision of a failed civilisation.
Man & MachineThe ten films within the curated programme Man & Machine address the conflicts between man and the technologies he himself has created.
Future BodiesThis programme features four works that address the field of tension in which the human body is immersed in relation to the changing environments around it.
Studies in Light and SpaceFour entirely different ways of appropriating light and space are at the core of this programme.
Long Distance TransfersThis programme presents three films all shot in Asia which address, in different ways, the communication between remotely distant worlds.
Short FictionsShort Fictions presents rare and epigrammatic science fiction shorts made by artists rather than by the film industry.
Agit-Prop, Punks and Poets: Digital Media between Film, Video and Activism in the Arab WorldGuest curator Rasha Salti from Beirut is going to present the online platform Arabshorts.net and will discuss the relevance of digital media for the Arab world by means of seven video works.
Inner WarsWars, which actually imply an interaction between people or nations, are not only destructive towards an exterior but also cause extreme repercussions towards the individual and collective psyche.
Media PersonificationsThe programme draws a panorama of media key figures of the 20th century, representing its utopias as much as their failures.
The Cultural Enterprise of the FutureResumee of the Free Culture Incubator Programme Together with a selection of guests this session will sum up the results and insights the Free Culture Incubator has generated during the past days. What can be done beyond the festival's lifespan?
Invisible CitiesThis session draws together four transmediale projects that use wireless technologies, augmented realities and mapping tools to reveal the undisclosed topologies of Berlin.
Destination MoonThe title of the panel refers to the seminal 1958 novel Destination Moon by Robert Heinlein, which helped develop the popular mythology of the Moon. This Salon Talk features presentations by artists shown in transmediale.10 whose work engages with the past, present and future of the moon.
The Identity of Cultural EnterprisesWhilst traditional enterprises conjure up their corporate identity, the creative sector proudly points to its heterogeneity. Cultural producers however must find a language with which they can reach the public and be economically successful. How much corporate identity does a cultural enterprise need – and how does one communicate this identity?
Which Organisation Are You Shooting The Film For?After a panel-related screening, this Salon Talk provides a forum in which to discuss concerns regarding artistic projects realised in Asia and shown in Europe. The relationship between ‘here’ and ‘elsewhere’ provides a point of departure to reflect on the (im)possibilities of shifting spaces as well as on the politics of image production.
Incubator WS #4: Organising Creative TeamsChaos and Structure: Planning and Organising Creative Teams Claudia Kogler shows how teams in the field of communication, project management and know-how-transfer collaborate not only productively but also with engagement.
Forms of Cultural OrganisationCultural forms of organisation hardly ever develop on the basis of strategic considerations but rather cluster around the individual needs of a specific project. Which models of organisation make sense in the field of art and the creative industries and how will the cultural enterprise of the future look?
Art 2.0The panel ART 2.0 focuses on different strategies of artistic appropriation and the invited artists will present selected works which articulate new approaches towards authorship and intellectual property as well as towards the interaction between individuals and communities.
Incubator WS #3: Creative Business ModelsCreative Business Models Susa Pop will illustrate how an idea can grow into a sustainable cultural business model.
Processual Media Art and TheoryHaving arrived in the 21st century, processes have become one of the major paradigms and creative strategies of contemporary art and design. This Salon Talk focuses on possible models and strategies with which processes that surround us in art, science and everyday life can be read, described or recorded.
Creativity as an Economic ResourceDue to the economic crisis the creative industries have become a location factor praised by politicians as a growth market poised to outperform the car industry. In which way has this new framework changed the relation between art and capital? Maybe the norm of the economy supporting the growth of culture is due to be reversed?
PhuturamaPHUTURAMA invites ‘Visual Futurists’ – designers and artists from various branches of media and production – to discuss whether and how a growing picture power of speculative, futuristic or fictional design impacts the design of the ‘real’ world. Film production designers, game developers, SciFi authors, comic artists and visionary car designers encounter futurologists,and professionals meet SciFi activists and fans.
Incubator WS #2: Free Software for Cultural EnterprisesFree Software for Cultural Enterprises with Markus Beckedahl This workshop gives insight into open source freeware and shareware.
Price and Value of Cultural WorkWhat is the currency for the cultural enterprise of the future? Cultural producers and artists produce a multiplicity of values, most of which are immaterial. It is difficult to translate cultural values into adequate market values: how do you determine the economical value of cultural work?
Incubator WS #1: The Basis of Free CultureThe Basis of Free Culture: Copyright, Open Licenses, and Sharing Creative Works Michelle Thorne will demonstrate how to make use of copyrights and open licences in the cultural practice: the default “all rights reserved” can change to “some rights reserved”.

Open Space: Time's UpTime's Up has been developing large scale interactive situations since 1996 with a tendency towards large steel and pneumatic devices. 'Luminous Green' is a series of workshops that explores the possibilities of living well and sustainably in the world. In this short presentation Time's Up will explain some of the points that were of importance in the workshop: local actions, utilising regional assets, in our case industrial waste and the body of water, social organisation, 're-importing' developing world technologies to 'the west', and many others.

Recipes for Disaster/ Katastrofin AineksiaDirector John Webster convinces his wife and two small children that the whole family go on a one -year 'oil diet', without having to give up their middle class suburban lifestyle. All the everyday things that we don't do, or that we cannot help doing, make up recipes for disaster. In this comedy of errors, they find themselves questioning their values and putting their willpower and, ultimately, their happiness to the test.

magmamagma, a 'meteorologic' contemplation in a Norwegian fjord, consists of video and quadrophonic music. The performance is constructed after the principle of the Golden Ratio, and this notion spans the impressive, intricate collaboration between image and sound. The audiovisual work began on the Northern Norwegian Lofote island of Vestvagoy and it was finished in Switzerland. Intended as a dramatic 'installation' the work illustrates the ambivalence of nature and art: a natural metaphor for ice, water, snow and wind.

Overbug, Performance 2
Overbug, Performance 1Overbug 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.

State / s of EmergencyBesides indicating a geographical direction, 'Deep North' is a powerful metaphor describing a state of paralysis in which an individual, a group or even a whole nation can find themselves as a result of being cut-off from the greater other. Indeed restrained contact with the outside world creates a state of isolation comparable to the common image of the northern hemisphere.
Melting Fridges Part IIIn addition to the regulation of warmth and cold, speed is a second core aspect of the destruction of the environment. Cars, airplanes, and rockets function according to a simple principle: The faster they go, the more pollutants they give off. But the loss of inexpensive mobility due to limited energy resources would effect us more than all other limitations put together.
Melting Fridges Part IThe refrigerator is among the most important technical achievements of everyday life and thus extends the so-called cooling chain. By means of this chain it is possible to preserve and eat perishable food independent of the time of year and to thus prevent typical nutritional deficiencies. In the 1950s the refrigerator, in addition to the car, television, and washing machine, symbolised the domestic modernity of the 'economic miracle'. Nevertheless, the electric refrigerator is a paradox: It cools its interior by heating up its surroundings and thereby becomes a reflection of a desolate progress-oriented society which enjoys its luxury on the inside at the cost of destroying its environment on the exterior.

Videoart at MidnightAs varied the forms of video art today are, and as rapidly as current developments progress, there is still no clear answer to the question of what is the best form of presentation. A work can function on a handy display, another work might work best as a loop in a museum space, while a third is best seen on a monitor and headphones. In cooperation with Babylon at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Ivo Wessel and Olaf Stüber invite you to come and share their obsession. As monthly as possible, always on a Friday, always at midnight.

Environment 2.0Drawing together the perspectives of environmental scientists, web technologists interested in the interface between digital footprint and environmental footprint, and artists concerned with creating precedents for social change on environmental sustainability.
Climate change as paradigm shiftThings sometimes happen which change forever the condition of being alive in a particular era.
Keynote: Modest Means - Paths of Humility in Climate GovernanceSheila Jasanoff´s research concerns the role of science and technology in the law, politics, and public policy of´modern democracies, with a particular focus on the challenges of globalisation. She has written and lectured widely on problems of environmental regulation, risk management, and biotechnology in the United States, Europe, and India. At the transmediale.09 conference, Making / Thinking: The Cultural Tomorrow, she will speak about the Law of Globalisation as environmental change in modern democracies.
Shift, Break, Control - SouthThe police shooting a fifteen year old became the trigger of social unrest in Greece. The fatal accident of a building worker sparked simmering turmoil in Delhi. Has this become our new political framework for agency: fatal accidents as the new default? Yet according to Binyavanga Wainaina, "the burning houses and the bloody attacks here do not reflect primordial hatreds. They reflect the manipulation of identity for political gain." If a cartoon in one country can lead to the loss of lives in another, Atteqa Malik states, "then policies should also be created to address issues that cross borders. All stakeholders should be considered, inside and outside the country, before policies are created to influence practice."
Shift, Break, Control - NorthCan we still argue from an institutionalist point of view for solutions if our major institutions have become part of the problem? This is the main question that will be addressed in this session. Claudia Kemfert will explain how for her climate change could be the economic driver of our future and if it still can be the key engine of society. Lorenz Petersen proposes a framework that takes an institutionalist perspective, focusing on the goods and services provided by natural resources rather than on the resource itself.

Arctic Perspectives - Third Culture on the Floe EdgeThe geocultural territories of the Arctic are poorly understood in the hemispheric centre of our planet. Mirages of vast open frontiers...
The Making and the ThinkingThe northern ice regions of our earth host cultures have followed traditional ways of life - related to ice, hunting and dwelling in extreme environments - for over 4000 years. In the ancient world the Hyperboreer was a mythic nation living at the most northerly edge of human imagination. The Inuits are the last limb in this Hyperboreic history, but now it seems their cultural tomorrow is doomed. Climate change is radically deforming this Inuit anthroposphere, changing indelibly their cultural selfconception and social texture. Geopolitical tugs of war on the north pole for raw materials for the combustion chambers of global industrialisation are impacting on traditional ways of life and endangering these forever. Can anything be done?
Perish in Beauty? Climate Change as Cultural Demand.The Climate change in its cause and physical impact is a matter of the natural siences. But the complexity and vast squareness of its consequences turn the debate into a matter of social and cultural studies. "In climate change lies not only the chance to overcome outmoded standards of living and actings but also to develop new institutional and individual modes of cooperation and cultural techniques for handling large scale threats." What are the chances and possibilities (technological and cultural) of opposing the destructive dynamics of climate change with constructive elements (policy, economy, technology, culture, art etc.)? In cooperation with KWI Essen

Critical Consumer Practice Part 2Eléonore Hellio, Dicoco Boketshu (Kinshasa), Dominique Malaquais, Thomas Lucas (Berlin) / MOWOSO - Mikili Way In times of a world-at-war, dominated by ignorance, postcolonial policy and prejudice there may be little room on Planet Earth for exchange. Mikili is a live videosonic interface, a space wherein identities defragment in unexpected ways as means of survival. Our purpose? To connect Berlin's transmediale to bits, pieces, (de)fragments of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Condensed bits through which MOWOSO, a Kinshasa based transmediatic art collective, will become, for a time, manifest by way of a screen, fictitious and fictionmaking, defying the global satellites that orbit 'our' world via a brief moment of human interaction. eternalnetwork.org/mowoso Special guest: Jaromil discussing Coltan and Blood (see award) Tantalum Memorial The installation is a memorial to the more than 3 million people who have perished in the complex wars that have gone on in the Congo since 1998.

Critical Consumer Practice Part 1Hehe BERLINPOL Contemporary understanding of air pollution is no longer felt nor experienced, although it remains potentially lethal. It is now less common to see pollution directly. By presenting only knowledge that is measurable, the model is disconnected from the local context and the specific social-economic conditions on the ground that created the pollution in the first place. With their projects hehe involves the audience in a process of monitoring localised pollution at the same time it is produced. A work like Nuage Vert is based on the idea that public forms can embody an ecological project, materialising environmental issues so that they become a subject within our collective daily lives. hehe.org.free.fr Laboratory Planet - Ewen Chardronnet, bureau d'etudes, Michel Tibon-Cornillot The Laboratory Planet is a periodic journal of philosophy, science and critical writing on technology.

Re-Hacking Your World: I Saw DisasterYoutube-Videos are society's mirror and vox populi within the climate change discourse. On Youtube you find numerous amateur videos showing catastrophes like Katrina or earthquakes in Sichuan and their impact. Tourists are booking trips to the arctic glaciers filming the elapsing ice and creating documents like 'Hubbard Glacier Alaska Sightseeing' and 'Glacier falls on tourists'. Natur becomes Hollywood becomes spectacle. I Saw Disaster examines the sites of fracture between amateur clips, footage and documentary by analyzing, commenting and discussing content and aesthetic of these clips.
Re-Hacking Your World: Fair Trade HardwareWhile FLOSS is still keeping artists and curators busy with ways that digital art can be produced and distributed in a connected society, a new artistic and conceptual challenge has recently surfaced: open source hardware. What is open about open source hardware? In much the same way as open licenses define the freedom of FLOSS software, open source hardware will need to be defined, and this definition needs to be developed further at an industrial and economic level. Many artists embraced FLOSS for political reasons, and are beginning to do the same now with open source hardware. But is it that simple? It is time to shed some light on the dark side of open source hardware.

Re-Hacking Your World: Sensible SoftwareWith the worldwide largest mobile growth rates and promises of being connected to the global fibreoptic network soon, new possibilities are dawning on Africa's horizon. Digital cultures in African countries are developing now. How do today's digital developments impact on every-day life? Has the course been set by foreign companies' emerging commercial interests and are donors' preferences leading the way? Or are African countries creating their own visions and realities of digital cultures and societies? Digital islands are emerging, offering innovative, adapted solutions to specific local needs as alternatives to the mainstream. The session will explore some of these initiatives working towards self-determined, relevant, economically sustainable, and change-making paths into Africa's digital future.

Re-Articulating the Scenarios of Environmental CatastropheIncreasing social inequality, aggravation of living standards, short-sighted environmental policy and the violation of human rights are all facts pointing to the increasing extremes of the conditions of life. These conditions are not cultural dysfunctions, but are fundamentally connected to the processes of global capital to systematically exploit the environment.
Parallel Head & Mortals ElectricParalel Head Ryoichi Kurokawa Parallel Head is composed of filmed scenes, animation, field recordings, and generative audio material. Ryoichi Kurokawa builds up a dense, multi-layered, yet delicate immersive experience of light and sound. In his precise audiovisual compositions, he seeks to unify the perception of sound and image and to invoke a synesthetic audiovisual impulse. Parallel Head tests the boundaries of cinematic experience and explores a possible extension of our perception by means of a unique audiovisual language. The work has been presented as an installation and a performance. transmediale.09 will present Parallel Head live on multiple screens and in surround sound. Mortals Electric Telcosystems Mortals Electric is a performance for single screen projection and 5.1 surround sound. This a new audiovisual journey comprises slow-moving cloud clusters, layers of strobing organic structure, deep machine drones and waves of digital noise. Over the years, Telcosystems have aimed to achieve an integration of human expression and programmed computer behaviour. They create a form of live cinema, which fuses the auditory and visual domains into one spatial experience, exploring the limits of the human sensory apparatus.
Sonolevitation & Untitled Sound ObjectsSonolevitation Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand with TeZ "The Earth is the cradle of humanity, however, it is impossible to spend one's entire life in a cradle." This quote from Constantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, a Russian rocket engineer, is the starting point for Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand's speculative performance on the suspension of gravity. The reduction of gravitational effects may evoke emancipatory associations, yet such conditions predominate in our universe. In a spacecraft, among the most efficient ways to transport nearly all gases, liquids, and powders, is by means of a phenomenon known as acoustic levitation. In Domnitch and Gelfand's 'Sonolevitation', slivers of gold are acoustically suspended by a standing wave. A microphone monitors the slivers' modulation of the levitatory wave: the slightest change in the sliver's position has highly audible consequences. Sonolevitation is the first in a series of projects by the artists which explore microgravitational, near-vacuous environments. The capacity to create artworks in such spaces, permits the actuation of altogether unforeseen optical and acoustic processes. Especially for this performance, the artists have joined forces with TeZ, who will create a live quadraphonic setting of Sonolevitation. Untitled Sound Objects Pe Lang and Zimoun Untitled Sound Objects is a series of works by Pe Lang and Zimoun in which the artists explore the properties of sound, materials, resonance and generative systems. Vibrating motors cause glass plates to oscillate. Various kinds of materials and objects are placed on these plates and generate sounds which are processed and amplified. The fragility and complexity of the resulting sound architecture resonates with the elegance and simplicity of their instrument. Pe Lang and Zimoun have an interest in how sound can be shaped, how space can be engineered, and how new dynamics and tone colours can be produced in a combination of digital and electroacoustical techniques.

Opening Night
Far Away is Close at Hand in Images of ElsewhereBasir Mahmood’s film ‘moon-sighting’ probes how bonds shared by Mirpuri communities in Pakistan and Britain can unravel through processes of ‘othering’ as what's deemed to be Mirpuri in Britain can be defined as British in Mirpur. The event will take the form of a conversation between Basir Mahmood and political geographer சிந்துஜன் வரதராஜா (Sinthujan Varatharajah), alongside a screening of the film and behind the scenes footage of its production.
