////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// transmediale 2012 in/compatible SYMPOSIUM ///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The two-day symposium in/compatible: systems | publics | aesthetics
taking place in the Auditorium of Haus der Kulturen der Welt comprises
of interdisciplinary panels with theorists, artists and hackers
discussing the in/compatible logic of production in today's network
culture. The spread of networks over the past few years has been almost
epidemic. Political, economic, civil and military authorities are all
now bound up with each other. The notion of regulation and control of
such expansive systems through routine procedures of convergence,
standardisation and compatibility is proving to be increasingly
problematic. In contrast to this, the in/compatible is a moment that
cannot be accommodated within given structures, hierarchies and
relationships, because it is by its nature ambiguous. How can
alternative forms of knowledge-production relying on malfunction be
envisaged? This is one of many questions to be addressed in the three
streams of the in/compatible symposium.

--- in/compatible systems
Chair/Moderator: Chris Salter (ca)
This section will deal with the zones in which so-called “divergent
culture” is materialised, where unresolved tensions and conflicting
policies come to light. What happens if systems become too large to
break down? And what kinds of strange and ambiguous forms of reality
arise if systems are too compatible?

Keynote: Everything Is Not Connected by Graham Harman (us)
http://bit.ly/knoteGHrmnengl

Panel 1: War Machines: Military Technologies between Civility and
Authority http://bit.ly/warmshnsengl
With Tsila Hassine (il), Ziv Neeman (il), Frank Rieger (de)
Panel 2: Business as Unusual: Financial Crisis, Computing and Money
Machines http://bit.ly/bznasuslengl
With Orit Halpern (us), Georgios Papadopoulos (gr), Stefan and Ralph
Heidenreich (de)

--- in/compatible publics
Chair/Moderator: Krystian Woznicki (de)
This part of the symposium will discuss forms of activism, social
resistance and other multi-layered and ambiguous social activities
emerging from a context of in/compatible systems. Public and nonpublic
players in this regard use diverse strategies such as anonymity,
deception, spamming, disruption, leakage and occupation.

Keynote: The incompatible public is occupied by Jodi Dean (us)
http://bit.ly/knoteJDeanengl

Panel 1: Anonymous Codes: Disruption, Virality and the Lulz
http://bit.ly/Anymscodesengl
With Jacob Appelbaum (us), Gabriella Coleman (us), Dana Buchzik (de),
Anonymous, Tatiana Bazzichelli (it)
Panel 2:  Publics in Crisis – Production, Regulation and Control of
Publics http://bit.ly/Pblcscrsisengl
With Anthony Iles (uk) & Rachel Baker (uk), Liza Tsaliki (gr), Norifumi
Ogawa (jp)

--- in/compatible aesthetics
Chair & Moderation: Rosa Menkman (nl)
What constitutes an in/compatible aesthetic? The third strand of the
symposium examines how artists – like users and consumers – exploit
forgotten channels, fissures and functions in the excess of networked
communication.

Keynote: Knotty Problems in the Fables of Computing von Matthew Fuller
(uk) http://bit.ly/knoteMFllrengl

Panel 1: Uncorporated Subversion: Tactics, Glitches, Archeologies
http://bit.ly/uncorpsubvengl
With Michael Dieter (au), Jussi Parikka (fi), Julio D'Escrivan (ve).
jon.satrom (us)
Panel 2: Unstable and Vernacular: Vulgar and Trivial Articulations of
Networked Communication http://bit.ly/unstblvernclengl
With Camille Paloque-Berges (fr), Olia Lialina (ru), Dragan Espenschied
(de), Florian
Cramer (de)

Symposium February 2–4, 2012, Auditorium, Haus der Kulturen der Welt

The symposium and 25 year panel programme is organised in cooperation
with the Federal Agency for Civic Education.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// EXHIBITION at transmediale in/compatible ///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
With the title Dark Drives: Uneasy Energies in Technological Times the
exhibition responds to the festival theme in/compatible. Rather than
attempting a definition by references to philosophy or art history, the
exhibition through an extensive and diverse group of examples claims
that distortions, ambiguities, irritations, ironies, and unrest
constitute a significant trajectory in our relations with modern
technology and have done so since the use value of electricity was
discovered.

--- Curator: Jacob Lillemose
Artists in the exhibition are among others 0100101110101101.ORG (it) ,
Chris Cunningham / Aphex Twin (uk), Chris Burden (us), Daniel García
Andújar (es), Matteo Giordano (it), Jaromil (it), JODI (nl), Sture
Johannesson (se), Steina and Woody Vasulka (us), VNS Matrix (au) und
Ruth White (us). Opening times Wed, Feb 1 – Sat, Feb 4, 10:00 – 22:00 /
Sun, Feb 5, 10:30 – 22:00

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// VIDEO PROGRAMME at transmediale in/compatible ///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Video-Programm Satellite Stories questions the compatibility between
human beings and the products they create. In various fields like
politics, economics and media, we create an environment that is intended
to satisfy our needs, but one that also consistently makes demands upon
us that we cannot achieve.

--- Curator: Marcel Schwierin
With more than 70 artists, including e.g. Basma Al Sharif (us),
Hanspeter Ammann (ch), Claus Blume (de), Harun Farocki (de),
Henna-Riikka Halonen (fl), Isabelle Hayeur (ca), Basim Magdy (eg), Jesse
McLean, Neozoon (de), Rotraut Pape (de), Roee Rosen (il).
Screenings: Wed, Feb 1, 18:30 – 20:30 / Thu, Feb 2 – Sun, Feb 5, 14:30 –
16:30 & 18:30 – 20:30

/// PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME at transmediale in/compatible ///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The performance programme reflects the relationship between “old” and
“new” media, bringing together the past and the present of the festival
and exploring the compatibility and incompatibility of analogue and
digital media.

/// RESOURCE FOR TRANSMEDIAL CULTURE ///

The reSource for transmedial culture, a new framework for the
transmediale festival, aims to create a distributed platform for

envisioning the festival as a peer-production context of sharing
knowledge and practices.

/// 25 YEARS of transmediale ///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
transmediale is 25 years old. Instead of blowing out the candles on a
birthday cake, we have decided to make visible the incompatibilities
within the festival. The diverse programmes making up transmediale 2012
reflect the story of a productive incompatibility that has defined the
festival. Indeed when transmediale was established 25 years ago as
VideoFilmFest, it was in order to provide a platform for media forms and
formats marginalised by the established and standardised culture of film
festivals and the cultural production of the time. The programme will
feature, amongst other things, a re-presentation of rare video
programmes from the 1980s and ‘90s, net art installations and
media-archaeological performance programmes; areas of conflict between
old and new media will thus be exposed, and forms of political
(counter-)culture, both of the time and of today, will be discussed.
