Beginning January 28, Germany’s largest and internationally significant festival for art and digital culture welcomes you at the House of World Cultures. The event goes through February 1st.
"Looking beyond the evolving alarmist scenarios of environmental
catastrophe prevalent in the global warming debate, transmediale.09
shifts the focus of this challenge to the broader cultural, societal
and philosophical consequences that the collapse of the northern ice
barrier reveals. Are we about to reach another historically succinct
moment of unavoidable and revolutionary change, a point of no return
leading to an unforeseeable global transformation akin to the fall of
the Berlin Wall 20 years ago? Will it be a time in which we realise
that everything will be different, without knowing how everything will be different?
In the search for DEEP NORTH, transmediale.09 seeks the paradoxical
and global consequences, the re-orientation, shifting of perspectives
and means to interact with the issues of cultural and technological
development, innovation and creative sustainability lurking below the
surface of climate change. DEEP NORTH becomes not a fixed location, but
a paradigm transforming loss into a complex state of being and cultural
development – an indicator of location becoming fused with global
introspection.."
