Lecture & Discussion @ transmediale, Berlin, 3 February 2019

An annual festival and a platform for critical reflection on cultural transformation from a post-digital perspective. For over thirty years, one of the leading international events in the field of digital art and culture.
The annual festival brings together international artists, researchers, activists, and thinkers with the goal of developing new outlooks on our technological era through the entanglement of different genres and curatorial approaches. In the course of its history, transmediale has grown from its beginnings as VideoFilmFest to one of the most important events for art and digital culture worldwide.
Since 2021 and for the first time in the festival’s history, transmediale runs its studio space at silent green Kulturquartier hosting different event formats and activities throughout the year.

Memory Politics
in the
Digital Age

Memory Politics in the Digital Age, by Hybrid Space Lab (Elizabeth Sikiaridi & Frans Vogelaar) focuses on the strongly emotionally charged memory politics of Valle de los Caídos in Spain and on the re-signification of this Francoist site—one of the world’s most controversial monuments. Deep Space addresses the re-signification of traditional physical monuments and heritage with the help of digital dynamic networked archives: What could future heritage (sites) look, feel, sound like, and how could their digitally enriched features affect memory-making processes?

transmediale is a yearly Berlin-based festival and cultural organization that facilitates critical reflection on and interventions into processes of cultural transformation from a post-digital perspective. transmediale 2019 focuses on the role of emotions, empathy, and cultural emergence in digital culture.

These alliances may include – but not be limited to – intersectional activism across class, gender, and race in today’s hybrid urban and technological spaces as well as artistic re-imaginations of places, institutions, and forms of organization.
