transmediale presents and pursues the advancement of artistic positions reflecting on the socio-cultural, political and creative impact of new technologies, network practices and digital innovation. As a festival aiming to define the contours of contemporary digital culture, it seeks out artistic practices that not only respond to scientific or technical developments, but that shape the way in which we think about and experience the technologies which impact virtually all aspects of our daily lives. As such, transmediale understands media technologies as cultural and aesthetic techniques that need to be embraced in order to comprehend, critique, and shape global societies.
The festival includes exhibitions, competitions, conferences, film and video programmes, live performances and a publication series called 'transmediale parcours'. Moreover it cooperates with club transmediale (CTM), which deals with electronic music and club culture.
transmedialeis a project of the Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH, in cooperation with the House of World Cultures and funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. more...

The Sophiensaele are the oldest continuously operating venue for independently produced theatre and dance projects in Berlin. The venue was founded in 1996 by Sasha Waltz, Jochen Sandig, Jo Fabian and Lubricat as a production and performance space. The idea of creating a new arts venue in Sophienstraße arose from a desire to combine production and presentation under one roof and to give artists optimal working conditions. Today, Sophiensaele is one of the main production centres for independent theatre and dance in Germany.
