This year is the 25th anniversary of Berlin’s alternative media arts festival, Transmediale. This five-day event, which starts on Tuesday at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt
contemporary arts center, has a rich international program of artworks,
installations, video screenings, workshops, performances and an
interdisciplinary symposiums, all organized by various guest curators.
The
Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts (CTM) will run
concurrently in different venues around Berlin, and in collaboration
with various Transmediale events. For festivalgoers interested in
exploring audio and visual mediums outside of a gallery or screening
room, check out the performance program Ghosts in the Machine, curated
by Sandra Naumann.
One of the highlights is the performance on Wednesday
by the Joshua Light Show, the
visual artists who appeared alongside the likes of Janis Joplin, Jimi
Hendrix and The Doors. The founder, Joshua White, will draw on a cache
of slide projections, archival footage, an assortment of light
reflective objects and other things to create a performance combining
both analog and contemporary digital elements. The group, appearing for
the first time in Europe since the 1960s, will feature the band
Supersilent and the guitarist Stian Westerhus.
Also, to mark the
festival’s quarter-century anniversary, the program will be peppered
with the history and evolution of media and art culture over the years
in Germany’s capital, and all of the eight video programs will begin
with a notable work from the Transmediale archive.
