transmediale is a Berlin-based festival and year-round project that draws out new connections between art, culture and technology.
The digital revolution is over again and this time “YOU” lost.
In the wastelands of its aftermath, what is still burning?
With the theme afterglow, transmediale 2014 suggests that in a world where resources (human, bodily, material, environmental, economic ...) are more and more used up, the digital does not any longer stand up to its promise of antiseptic high-tech worlds and opportunities for all. On the contrary, digital culture is more and more becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by a few powerful clan leaders. Still, digital culture is full of things that shine and glow, both promising and uncanny: from social media to big data. On the one hand, this afterglow can be seen as an extreme expression of the wasteful state of digital culture (excess, overload, endless repetition, pre-emption of meaning, exploitation), but on the other hand, as “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, this afterglow is also providing the transition to new forms of being. If we are living in a post-digital culture, then afterglow is what characterises its aesthetics and politics during the transition to new cultural forms that are still unknown to us.
In the 2014 edition of the transmediale festival, the idea of an afterglow of digital culture is taken as an opportunity to speculate on positions that lead beyond the digital: not beyond the digital in a literal sense as in doing away with digital technology, but beyond the digital as a metaphysical character that overcodes all forms of existence. Even a supposedly critical term like “post-digital” is in this sense only promoting an idea of the contemporary and of the future as predetermined by the digital. Instead of revelling in the hypes of the post-digital, we invite the contributors of transmediale 2014 to reflect on this afterglow: to exploit our nostalgia for the pre-digital through the use of trashed technologies, ideas and narratives and/or to imagine new modes of existence and new modalities of critical intervention, by junking the afterglow of digital culture. ....
C’est une Toulousaine, un Rennais, un Caennais et une Grenobloise qui sont dans un bar…
Cela aurait pu être le début d’une bonne blague, mais il s’agit en fait de la journée de travail du groupe Communautés d’Inmédiats qui s’est déroulée le 13 juin dernier à Paris. L’occasion de faire le point, d’avancer sur nos projets communs, de partager nos expériences… et de discuter tous ensemble autour d’un café autrement que par écrans interposés !
Une date loin d’être choisie au hasard car il s’agit de la journée de lancement de Futur en Seine, le festival du numérique. Puisque nous avons bien travaillé, eu le temps d’échanger quelques potins et de refaire le monde, nous avons bien mérité une petite visite du Centquatre et son « village des innovations », lieu incontournable de Futur en Seine paraît-il…
La Fabrique est un centre culturel de développement et d’initiatives artistiques géré collectivement par la Ville de Nantes et des associations locales, afin d’accompagner les pratiques émergentes et innovantes.
Le projet de la Fabrique s’inscrit dans la volonté de la municipalité de soutenir l’émergence artistique, les nouvelles formes de création et de prendre en compte les attentes des artistes et des créateurs. L’enjeu de la Fabrique est de permettre à ces expériences, qui représentent aujourd’hui une dynamique culturelle innovante, de se développer dans les meilleures conditions.
Cette démarche fait partie intégrante d’une politique globale qui a pour objectif d’apporter des solutions adaptées à la multiplications des initiatives artistiques, à la nécessité d’accompagner et de valoriser les cultures émergentes, à la volonté d’apporter des réponses collectives favorisant l’intérêt général et à la constitution de réseaux culturels à l’échelle locale, nationale et internationale.
Pour ceci, le projet a été co-élaboré depuis 2003 en liens étroits avec des acteurs culturels nantais afin de répondre au mieux à leurs besoins en matière de production et de création.
Cinq associations nantaises sont parties prenantes dans la réalisation du projet depuis son origine : Apo33, Mire, Microfaune, Trempolino et Songo. Tous ont œuvré avec la Ville de Nantes dans toutes les phases de la réalisation.

The ARTos Cultural and Research Foundation was founded by the artists Achilleas Kentonis and Maria Papacharalambous. It is a contemporary arts and science center dedicated to research and creativity: two magical worlds of adventure and discovery, encompassing sojourns into the fields of learning, chaos and imagination. Its premises, both transcendental and material, inspire the contemporary artist/creator and the scientist/creator alike, offering to both a platform, promoting them at a local as well as at an international level, with quality being the main criterion.
It functions as a multidimensional space, organizing and undertaking the production of multifaceted events from the world of theatre, music, dance, cinema, visual arts, letters and sciences. At the same time, its multipurpose spaces are available to individuals, organizations and other agencies for the hosting of events, presentations, seminars, symposia, conferences and scientific or other workshops.
ARTos is unique in its kind, harmoniously uniting, through a pre-Socratic approach, Art and Science, with the addressor, as well as the ultimate addressee, Man. Because, if civilization is essentially all those scientific and artistic achievements of Man belonging to a specific era, then it is high time for that platform to exist which will bring about the interaction of these two fundamental fields, with the aim of incorporating them into contemporary civilization. It is precisely this role which the ARTos Foundation aspires to play: to attract and challenge the contemporary artist/creator as well as the scientist/researcher, both of whom, through their eternally-inquisitive and unsatisfiable nature, question and doubt, always striving to go one step further. ARTos, in the final analysis, is that space where creative ideas will be born and take shape free of exploitation, and with the intellectual rights of the inspirers and creators being firmly and with respect established and safeguarded.
Quelque chose est en train de changer avec les images : multipliées, transformées, partagées, leurs vies multiples se jouent des frontières et des lois. Au risque de la banalisation et de la perte du sens, mais aussi de l’invention et de la liberté de créer, pour tous. Bienvenue au festival de la vidéo web créative, participative et collaborative !
It’s an exciting time to be interested in art, interaction, and information. The way we experience all three is changing. The way all three interact and overlap is evolving. Access to data and tools continues to enter new realms. What data is—is changing; It’s a social media feed, it’s a physical sensor, it’s a house plant, a novel, it’s open access to oceans of digitized archives and more and more APIs. What can we do with all this data? What can’t we do? Artists, designers and coders build and bend technology and give us a glimpse into what’s possible, into what’s next. Ones and zeros float all around us just waiting to deliver the next new interaction. The Eyeo Festival brings together the most intriguing and exciting people in these arenas today.
We start with a day of pre-festival workshops and the Code+ed Summit. That night we kick off Eyeo with keynotes and a mixer. Then it’s three days of inspirational talks, demos, and labs and plenty of opportunities to connect with people whose extraordinary creations are pushing the envelope. The line up is amazing. A cast of brilliant individuals creates one amazing collection of talent and insight. Add yourself to the mix, and it just gets better....
CLICK Festival focuses on new media art. Often new media is regarded as reserved for the chosen few; however in real life it is available and relevant to us all. The primary purpose of CLICK Festival is to create an open and inclusive platform in which the curious is immersed in this unique and groundbreaking art form through workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and extraordinary concert events. New media art has vast potential and at CLICK creativity, knowledge and visions are shared freely.
In this work the two artists analyze the movement of the human body, a fascinating investigation on the body itself as a machine and system, bystander in time and space. The work starts from an archive source, videos of the Commonwealth Games (footage of high jump, swimming competitions…), and stands as one of the most precious works of genuine investigation into the essence of the body designed through contemporary electronic languages. ...

Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen run a London based experimental practice operating on the border between art and design. Inspired by designer species, composed wilderness and mechanical organs, they produce fictional objects, photographs and videos exploring the juxtaposition of the natural with the artificial. They often involve bioethicists, animal breeders and other scientists in the development of the work in order to push the boundaries of material and process.
Since graduating from the Design Interactions department at the Royal College of Art in 2008, they have been exhibiting and lecturing internationally. Recent exhibitions and talks took place at MoMa, Tate Britain, National Museum of China, Cooper-Hewitt, Z33 House for Contemporary Art, London Design Museum, FACT, V2 Institute for Unstable Media, Natural History Museum of Vienna and Design Indaba, amongst others.
Cohen Van Balen are the recipients of several awards and commissions, including the Science Museum's Emerging Artist Commission, two Wellcome Trust Arts Awards and an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica.
Brussels proves to be a very dense multi-layered city characterised by abrupt shifts in urban structure, architecture and the social environment. This patchwork provides an urban modality that resists a general grasp of the city while providing room for individualised appropriations. The abundance of juxtapositions in the every-day surroundings create a productive resonance with its passersby in a manner where the city manifests as a vibrant, open-ended, multiplicity. How can one grasp the nature of these relational oscillations and what modes of resonance give shape to the particular Brussels vibe?
Over the course of the four day festival, Tuned City Brussels probes such urban frequencies through concerts, walks, installations and interventions in situ while at the same time focusing the theoretical framework around three core notions: ‘Relational Noise’, ‘Situational Listening’ and ‘Operative Ambience’. A different theme will be explored each day in a corresponding ‘zone’ in the city, towards which the festival relocates.

Le samedi 20 avril 2013, nous avons reçu une cinquantaine de personnes à l'occasion du Premier HFDAY . De quoi faire une étincelle de plus en France au sujet de l'Open-Source Hardware (Matériel Libre).

They are the winner of the section “Interactive art”, at the Prix Ars Electronica 2013, that taken place last 16th May in Linz, Austria (http://www.aec.at/prix/en/gewinner/#interactiveart): a deserved reward for André and Michel Décoster, which are working as Cod.Act since more than years, on the possible relations between sound, light and imagine (http://codact.ch/gb/pendugb.html).
They are two brothers that in the 1999 started to put together their different knowledge (Michel is an architect and plastician and Andrè is a musician, compositor and plastician) creating particular devices, functional and lean to specific artistic projects, through that they refer to a post-industrial imaginary. Their work is in the edge between installation and digital performance, and the interaction of the different elements is the starting point for the entire structural genesis. There is a technological and musical research where the human presence becomes the joining link and the last signifier agent. ...

UN FESTIVAL OFFSHORE La quatrième saison de Désert Numérique poursuit ce rendez-vous artistique rural qui rassemble quarante artistes internationaux dans le contexte unique du village de Saint- Nazaire-le-Désert en Drôme provençale, autour des pratiques artistiques contemporaines et numériques.
UN VILLAGE GLOBAL Le festival Désert Numérique réalise l'utopie du Village Global: nœud d'un réseau planétaire, multiple, dense et informel, Désert Numérique transforme un magnifique village de montagne en un haut lieu (à 560m d'altitude) de diffusion de la scène artistique expérimentale et numérique.
UN DÉTOUR PROFESSIONNEL Désert Numérique, largement identifié comme initiative modèle, fédère les acteurs régionaux et nationaux du réseau numérique. Le festival propose une grille de programme ouverte à contributions, et accueille des rencontres professionnelles: le réseau Internum (croissant Sud- Est) depuis sa création; le réseau des EPI et EPN de Drôme et d'Ardèche (via ADN, Inforoutes et Coraia); et, en 2013, les Open Ateliers de Nantes, Orléans, Lyon, Marseille, Poitiers...

MashUp Film Festival - L'intense circulation des images sur le web a révélé des œuvres nouvelles fondées sur le découpage, la manipulation, le réassemblage.
Dans une conférence donnée lors du premier MashUp Film Festival en juin 2011, nous avancions l’idée que tout comme Monsieur Jourdain parlait en prose sans le savoir, dans nos interactions digitales, nous nous exprimions par la voix du remix.
En effet, sur les sites de réseaux sociaux, l’on s’exprime et on interagit par un partage de contenus, les siens ou venus d’autrui – amis famille ou sites de confiance – que l’on s’approprie symboliquement.Les interactions en ligne s’accomplissent sous le mode du partage expressif de contenus pré-existants, que l’on remixe à sa façon par un retitrage, un légendage, un taggage ou encore un retouchage.
Par conséquent, si les conversations digitales ordinaires sont constituées de contenus pré-existants appropriés suivant différents procédés plus ou moins standardisés selon les sites de réseaux sociaux, le web est tramé dans une remixabilité profonde allant d’images partageables au code informatique. ...

A la base du THSF il y a les hackerspaces qui sont des laboratoires plus ou moins formels où tous ceux qui le désirent se regroupent sur des projets touchants à la science, aux technologies, aux arts numériques et à l'informatique. Le THSF permet donc de créer une rencontre qui brasse des gens venant d’horizons culturels et techniques très divers, autour de l’utilisation créative des technologies, leur appropriation et la compréhension des enjeux qu’elles suscitent.
Cette année le thème sera le « RE » l’évènement s’articulera autour de la REconstruction, REprogrammation, REinitialisation et de la bidouille en général.
Que vous soyez connaisseurs ou non, le THSF vous fera découvrir le monde des hackers, qui vous ferons partager leurs connaissances, leurs savoir faire, et leurs philosophies.
Comme chaque année l’évènement s’articulera autour de conférences, ateliers pratiques et propositions artistiques (concerts, performances, installations…). Ce partage de connaissance se déroulera comme chaque année dans une ambiance festive, conviviale et interactive.
Comme pour les éditions précédentes, les rencontres seront enregistrés et retransmises en streaming sur internet, avec en plus cette année le plateau de (des)information TV
