This year’s performance programme at transmediale hovers at the interface between the real world and the media sphere, between liveness and reproduction, between virtual and physical. Over the course of the festival, at three locations, in the Auditorium, on the Café Stage and in the HacKaWay Zone, hybrid manifestations of media will be switched on and their potential for experimental malleability will be tested.
With performances from Herman Kolgen,Cécile Babiole & Vincent Goudard, Daito Manabe, People Like Us, Fair Use, Ei Wada, Rosa Menkman, Tina Tonagel, Preslav Literary School, Eosin, Dorothy of the Day, Tour de Vinyl and others. more...

In eleven curated film and video programmes transmediale.11 presents 58 historical and contemporary moving image works from 18 countries. This year's main focus is a reflection on the vital ways in which 20th century cinema – through its editing techniques and new visual culture – contributed to promoting the sense of growing simultaneity, ubiquity and acceleration which the Internet has since increased exponentially.

Additional highlights include a focus on the first live television broadcasts, specials on Lynn Hershman Leeson, a leading pioneer of interactive live media art, Ho Tzu Nyen, the transmediale Award Nominee from Singapore, and the second edition of the Arab Shorts project. more...
