The transmediale.10 exhibition Future Obscura presents artworks that use the materials, mechanisms and machines of image-making to illuminate and define our relationship with atemporality - the collision of past, present and future. Over a dozen international artists, including Zilvinas Kempinas, Julius von Bismarck, Ken Rinaldo, Alice Miceli and Julien Maire, will create interdisciplinary explorations of light and chronology which will unfold across the HKW, and several urban spaces within Berlin.
For the benefit of Haiti the exhibition was extended by two days, running until Tuesday, 9 February 2010 - 21:30

In relation to recent events social networking sites have replaced traditional news coverage. Sociology professor Tiziana Terranova moderates this third conference session examining the 'radical' roles of tools like Twitter and Facebook as 'revolutionary' media. Are we dealing with a new force, a new social mechanism for the exchange of information, a new truth? Or is it just another case of 'the emperor's new clothes'?
The panel ART 2.0 focuses on different strategies of artistic appropriation and the invited artists will present selected works which articulate new approaches towards authorship and intellectual property as well as towards the interaction between individuals and communities.
