(near) near but — far

In the organizer's words:

For transmediale’s 38th edition, (near) near but — far will form an understanding of how algorithms place us in weird proximities and new intimacies with one another and the qualities of closeness we lose by way of their machine-driven actions.

The festival’s core programme takes place across three days at transmediale’s long-standing host venue, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), presenting an extensive schedule across diverse formats, including conversations, lectures, performances, installations, film screenings, and off-site events. As a prologue to the festival weekend, two days of workshops will take place at silent green Kulturquartier, which will also host the public opening of the festival on the evening of January 30. The opening includes performances and music - with live acts by Tati au Miel and DeForrest Brown Jr. and DJ Sets by AXT and STATE OFF.
