Festival Programme Sat, 6.2.2010 - 01:00

New 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.

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?

The Award Ceremony on 6 February will reveal the winners of this year's transmediale and Vilém Flusser Theory Award. Barbara Kisseler will  moderate the evening together with the members of both juries.

Whilst 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?

The 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.
