As part of the Opening Gala, transmediale.10 is proud to present an extraordinary collaboration in which Shanghai-based digital artist and computer hactivist aaajiao (Xu Wenkai) joins forces with one of the pioneers of Germany's electronic music, Byetone (Olaf Bender).
With this first set at the Café Stage, which is all about the strangeness of futurity, we get a taste of experimental sound art and music courtesy of Benjamin Laurent Aman. This is music that captures the senses by losing them!
During transmediale.10, the Instituto Cervantes in Berlin will host the exhibition of Award nominee Félix Luque Sánchez.
His installation Chapter I: The Discovery will open as part of the Long Night of the Museums on Saturday 30 January, and run for the duration of the festival. Between 16:00–18:00 that day a special transmediale opening preview will take place for which a ticket for the Long Night is not yet needed.
