Check out the interview with Tatiana Bazzichelli, curator of the reSource transmedial culture berlin, at the transmediale 2k+12. The interview was made by the Artistic Bokeh Research team.
Thomas Munz is an independent curator and editor living in Berlin. In his curatorial and editorial work he is focusing on contemporary art at the crossroads of technology and society.
transmediale was founded in 1988 as VideoFilmFest, a side-project of the Berlin Berlinale’s 'International Forum of New Cinema'. The co-founder and artistic director Micky Kwella intended to offer a platform to electronic media productions not accepted at traditional film festivals such as the Berlinale.
Within the following 20 years, the festival steadily evolved. In 1997/98 it changed its name from 'VideoFest' to 'transmediale' in order to reflect upon the festival’s expanding programme which now embraced a wide spectrum of multimedia-based art forms. In 1999 club transmediale was founded. Focusing primarily on electronic music and club culture, it is organised by a curatorially and financially independent team.
For the opening event of the 25th anniversary edition of transmediale, we present a compelling and compressed taster of what will be on offer during the festival. | 31 January 2012, HKW opens 17:00, Opening Ceremony: 18:30, afterwards DJ Set till 23:00
