reSource newsletter #2
reSource programme at transmediale 2012 in/compatible

In November 2011, we introduced the thematic newsletter for the reSource 
for transmedial culture. This second reSource newsletter informs you 
about the workshops, discussions and performances that are taking place 
within the framework of reSource as part of our large festival programme 
at transmediale 2012 in/compatible.

# The reSource programme during transmediale 2012
The reSource for transmedial culture (www.transmediale.de/resource), a 
new framework for the transmediale festival, aims to create a 
distributed platform for networking, curating and research throughout 
the year 2012 and beyond by envisioning the festival as a 
peer-production context of sharing knowledge and practices.
Together with the other programme strands ‚ the exhibition Dark Drives: 
Uneasy Energies in Technological Times, the performance programme The 
Ghosts in the Mashine, the video programme Satellite Stories and the 
symposium in/compatible: systems | publics | aesthetics, the reSource 
constitutes a substantial part of the transmediale 2012 programme. It 
presents a constellation of workshops, talks and performances 
distributed into five different sub-themes: reSource Methods, reSource 
Activism, reSource Networks, reSource Markets and reSource Sex.

reSource Methods investigates intersections between artistic production 
and research, reflecting on methodologies of curating (post)media art as 
well as on experimental and speculative methods of in/compatibility 
through artistic practices.
With Martin Howse (uk/de), Anthony Iles (uk), Mattin (se/es), Jonathan 
Kemp (uk), Shu Lea Cheang (tw/fr), Cornelia Sollfrank (de), Geoff Cox 
(uk/dk), Florian Cramer (de/nl), Christian Ulrik Andersen (dk), Georg 
Russegger (au), Michal Wlodkowski (au), Luise Reitstätter (au), Joasia 
Krysa (pl/dk), Sidney Ogidon (au), Eva Fischer (au), Morten Breinbjerg

Marie Thompson (uk), Carolin Wiedemann (de), Robert Jackson (uk), Andrew 
Prior (uk), Magda Tyzlik-Carver (pl/uk) and many others.

reSource Activism sheds light on the practices of artists, activists and 
hackers who are rethinking critical interventions in the field of art 
and technology.
With Florian Wüst (de), Kathy Rae Huffman (us/de), Eckart Lottman (de), 
Pit Schultz (de), Roberta Buiani (it/ca), Alessandra Renzi (it/ca), 
Nicola Angrisano (it), and others.

reSource Networks reflects on viral and distributed strategies of 
networking, questioning the concept of networking itself and proposing 
alternative to proprietary systems.

Telekommunisten Network, Aymeric Mansoux (fr/nl), Johannes P Osterhoff 
(de), Salvatrice Settis (it), Anna Adamolo (it), Victoria Estok (us),

crisis, proposing both critical and playful alternatives to the 
capitalistic logic by intervening directly within the economical systems.
With Steve Lambert (us), Daniel Garcia Andujar (es), Jaromil (it/nl), 
Kate Rich (uk), Shintaro Miyazaki (jp/de) and Elanor Colleoni (it/dk).

reSource Sex reflects on the interference and overlapping between sex 
business and alternative porn, aiming to explore and discuss the open 
interzona which exists in between the often male-oriented mainstream 
porn, and the more narrow scene of queer and alt porn communities.
With Sergio Messina (it), Karla Grundick (cz/de), Julianne Pierce 
(au/uk), Liad Hussein Kantorowicz (il/de), Kate Erhardt (za/de), Jacob 
Appelbaum (us), Zach Blas (us), Aliya Rakhmetova (kz/hu), Gaia Novati

# Artworks in the reSource programme
R15N
by Dmytri Kleiner, Baruch Gottlieb and the Telekommunisten Network
Telekommunisten present R15N as a working telephone-based interactive 
installation which is available as a mobilization and engagement 
platform for the transmediale community.
R15N is an artwork in the form of an experimental mobile phone service 
which attempts to generate local community engagement and communication. 
After registering with the service participants will be joined together 
in the R15N community, able to initiate and share information about what 
is going on at transmediale and beyond. Every member thus eventually 
becomes engaged in a real conversation with another, and this engenders 
cohesion and complicity.
R15N is the Official Miscommunication Platform of transmediale 2012.
Please register yourself at http://www.r15n.net
Presentation of R15N at the opening of transmediale, Tuesday January 31, 
17:00-18:30

Google, One Week Performance Piece
by Johannes P Osterhoff
 From January 1 to December 31, 2011, the Interface Artist Johannes P 
Osterhoff has been publishing all of his search queries with the search 
engine Google in a One-year Performance piece called Google. Since for 
each search a website has been generated automatically, Osterhoff's 
searches surface surprisingly well-ranked in Google's search results. 
During the week of transmediale Osterhoff opens this hacking of Google's 
business model to collaboration. Follow the searches of JODI, Olia 
Lialina, mspr0, Rene Walter and others or use Google publicly yourself.
Presentation as part of the panel Isolation and Empowerment after Web 
2.0, Friday, February 3, 11:00-14:00, K1

# Performances in the reSource programme
Steam Machine Music
by Morten Riis
Steam Machine Music is a homebuilt mechanical instrument made mostly 
from vintage Meccano parts. The instrument is driven by a steam engine 
and the sound material is generated from various strings, dynamos and 
music boxes. But the most important sound generating part is the sound 
of the machine itself, the rhythmic patterns and pulsating drones of the 
steam engine, the squeaking of the gear trains. The instability of the 
entire mechanism is extremely noticeable, and displays and reflects the 
physicality of the machine to an extreme degree. Steam Machine Music 
questions the whole practice and conceptualizing of machine music in a 
historical perspective that points to the fact that machines always have 
been malfunctioning. The artist can be watched building up the Steam 
Machine at the opening night, followed by the performance Steam Machine 
Music later on. The perfomance will be repeated in a shorter version on 
Wednesday, February 1, in the framework of the in/compatible research 
practices event at K1.
Tuesday, January 31, live construction: 17:00-18:30 / performance: 
20:30-21:00, K1

Watch Me Work
by Liad Hussein Kantorowicz and Kate Erhardt
Liad works as an erotic performer at an Israeli sex chat site. The usage 
of cameras, computers and projectors enables the viewers to peer into 
the live exchange of cyber sex work between sex worker and client, and 
compare between the sex worker's actual experience and what is projected 
to the client. The performance seeks to de-exotify sex work, opting for 
a realistic perspective, and investigates the discrepancy between the 
hyped discussion about sex work as compared to the actual sex work 
experience.
The performance will be held in the context of the panel Commercialising 
Eros simultaneosly with a discussion with Jacob Appelbaum, Zach Blas, 
Liad Hussein Kantorowicz and Aliya Rakhmetova, moderated by Gaia Novati.
Saturday, February 4, 13:30 – 15:30, K1
Minimum age for admission 18 years!

# reSource launch at transmediale 2012
Within the aegis of facilitating collaboration and the sharing of 
resources and knowledge between the transmediale festival in Berlin and 
the local and translocal scene engaged with art and digital culture, the 
reSource acts as a link between the cultural production of art festivals 
and collaborative networks in the field of art and technology, 
hacktivism and politics.

After four days of talks, workshops and performances, the reSource 
programme at transmediale ends with a special game: Zombie Play in the 
Ludic Salon, reSourcing an Exquisite Media Corpse. The Ludic Interface 
Research Group (L.I.R.G.) cordially invites all visitors of transmediale 
2012 to partake in a contemporary version of the surrealist game Le 
Cadavre Exquis. In the course of this event, different projects from the 
reSource for transmedial culture initiative will be brought into a 
playful dialogue with each other through aleatoric, agonal and just 
plain ludicrous methods.
With Mark Butler (us/de) (host), Natascha Adamowsky (de), Georg 
Russegger (au), Daphne Dragona (gr), Mathias Fuchs (de), Gregor Sedlag 
(de) and other special guests.

This initiative will include the presentation of the OutResourcing 
project: a collaboration project between transmediale and CEMA – 
Center for Experimental Media Arts at Sristhi School of Art, Design and 
Technology, Bangalore.
With Prayas Abhinav (in), Linda Hilfling (dk/de) and an introduction by 
Kristoffer Gansing (se/de).

After transmediale 2012, reSource for transmedial culture will extend 
its activity into a series of events that will be held in the course of 
2012 and beyond, as a way to gather and present the results as well as 
to continue the dialogue further, leading to the next transmediale 
festival in 2013. The methodology of the reSource as a peer production 
laboratory of knowledge, research and artistic projects, will be 
presented in the Auditorium of the HKW on the last day of the festival 
together with current reSource partners.
With Tatiana Bazzichelli (reSource for transmedial culture), Stéphane 
Bauer (Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien, Berlin), Oliver Baurhenn (CTM, 
Berlin), Clemens Apprich and Oliver Lerone Schultz (Post-Media Lab, 
Leuphana University Lüneburg).

A final note in the spirit of networking: participate in discussions 
around the reSource for transmedial culture on twitter via the hashtag 
#tmresource!
