Performance Reminder
The transmediale.10 Performance programme presents a range of concerts
and events acting as auditory and performative interrogations of
FUTURITY NOW!. The highlight: six concert evenings in collaboration with
CTM featuring some of the most important figures working within music
and sound today. Each night new, and often rare, performances by Ryoji
Ikeda, artificiel, Jürgen Reble & Thomas Köner, Atom TM and Feng Mengbo will represent the most experimental intersections of audiovisual
culture and digital art. Charlemagne Palestine will open the festival
with a special performance in the Tiergarten Carillon. Transmediale.10
Award nominees Sosolimited will unveil an entirely new work, a live
coding performance of the Futurity Long Conversation. transmediale is
also proud to present performances on the Café Stage at HKW. A world
première of La Chambre Des Machines by Nicholas Bernier & Martin
Messier, plus some of Berlin’s finest talents, such as Pe Lang und
Benjamin Laurent Aman, will enrich each evening with sonic
interpretations of our conditional future.
