Entitled &#8220;ever elusive&#8221;, the programme, led for its sixth year by artistic director Kristoffer Gansing, takes a contemporary approach and not a retrospective one. It aims to exploit the critical and artistic knowledge created throughout the festival\u2019s history to reframe contemporary questions about media today. The parallel exhibition \u201calien matter\u201d will mark the reopening of the recently renovated Haus der Kulturen der Welt on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_240598128\"><span class=\"aQJ\">2 February<\/span><\/span>.

Since then, it has transformed into a globally visible platform for media cultures. Originally founded as a side project of the Berlinale, it was intended to serve experimental media productions not accepted at traditional film festivals. It was renamed to transmedia 1997, then transmediale in 1998 before its program was expanded and relocated to Haus der Kulturen der Welt in 2001. An independently organised partner event club transmediale was founded in 1999 (renamed CTM in 2011) with a focus on electronic music and club culture. Since 2004, transmediale has been funded as a cultural intuition of excellence by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, Germany\u2019s most preeminent public cultural fund.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/13-Pinar-Yoldas-_-Artificial-Intelligence-for-Governance-the-Kitty-AI-2.jpg\" alt=\"Transmediale\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> &#8220;Artificial Intelligence for Governance, the Kitty AI&#8221; by Pinar Yoldas.

Photo by Hendrik Zeitler<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ever elusive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The central question to be addressed at this year\u2019s transmediale is: \u201cIn a world where technology increasingly operates independently of humans, where does the power to act and mediate lie?\u201d It will permeate the month-long program encompassing a conference, screening programme, workshops, and live performances. The title &#8220;ever elusive&#8221; refers to the elusiveness of perpetually transitioning media cultures \u2014 a pertinent thematic headline in light of current media-influenced political phenomena such as emerging far-right populism worldwide.<br \/>\nThe title also points to how the festival sees itself as an elusive or dynamic project; a shape-shifting platform on continually shifting ground. The festival invites participants to explore speculative positions beyond current categorical dichotomies like human\/nonhuman and nature\/technology. The festival exhibits a motivation not only to understand but also transform global media infrastructure. Whether or not transformation is possible is likely to be scrutinised. After all, isn\u2019t the category \u201cwhat\u2019s possible\u201d itself only one half of an established dichotomy?<br \/>\n&#8220;Ever elusive is curated by Kristoffer Gansing, Daphne Dragona (conference), and Florian W\u00fcst (film and video). The opening ceremony on 2 February will include a series of performative and audiovisual programme teasers. Metahaven are also showing &#8220;The Sprawl (Propaganda About Propaganda)&#8221; the video which served as the inspiration for their contribution to SLEEK 52&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/2017\/01\/02\/metahaven-yulia-yefimtchuk-sleek\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cabinet.<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bs7NFbE2NS8<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15-An-Internet-_-Jeroen-van-Loon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Transmediale\" width=\"1200\" height=\"653\" \/> &#8220;An Internet&#8221;, 2015. Installation by Jeroen van Loon.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>alien matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The exhibition &#8220;alien matter&#8221;, curated by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/?s=+Inke+Arns&amp;submit=Search\">Inke Arns<\/a>, focuses on \u201cneo-cybernetic couplings\u201d between humans, creatures and technologies, and human and nonhuman forces. The title refers to man-made matter and at the same time \u201cradically different, potentially intelligent matter\u201d, the outcome of a naturalisation of technological artefacts. By being able to learn and network, these artefacts become autonomous agents that challenge the central role of the human subject. As technical objects shape the environment, the resulting transformations shape the relationship between man and machine as well.<br \/>\nAbout 20 artists from Berlin and around the world will exhibit works that deal with shifts within such emerging power structures, part technical and part natural. They will raise questions about the state of the global environment and whether or not it has already passed a tipping point to become \u201calien matter\u201d. Artistic positions will address four aspects of \u201calien matter\u201d: artificial intelligence, plastics, infrastructure and the \u201cInternet of Things\u201d. Like the festival and the concept of \u201calien matter\u201d itself, the exhibition will likely elude critique in the form of established discourse.<br \/>\n<strong>The exhibition &#8220;alien matter&#8221; at Haus der Kulturen der Welt opens on 2 February at 18:30. The festival weekend runs 3-5 February and continues with three thematic excursions targeting the &#8220;ever elusive&#8221; theme. The closing weekend takes place 4-5 March with a performance by Laurie Anderson.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its Transmediale time again.
