*transmediale.08 - Conspire*

As one of the leading international festivals for art and digital  
culture, transmediale presents and pursues the advancement of  
artistic positions reflecting on the socio-cultural, political and  
economic impact of new technologies. As such, transmediale  
understands media technologies as cultural techniques that need to be  
embraced in order to comprehend, critique, and shape global  
societies. transmediale.08 seeks out the speculative realms of  
conspiratorial practice to question, subvert, undermine and bypass  
the unspoken rules, hidden codes of conduct and assumed truths  
entrenched within our information driven communication cultures and  
ideological belief structures. Do you conspire ... ?

*club transmediale.08 - Unpredictable*

club transmediale (CTM) is a prominent international festival  
dedicated to contemporary electronic, digital and experimental music,  
as well as the diverse range of artistic activities in the context of  
sound and club culture. CTM presents projects that experiment with  
new aesthetic parameters and new forms of cooperation, develop  
possibilities for informational and economic self-determination, and  
reflect on the role of contemporary music against the backdrop of  
technological and social transformations. With 'Unpredictable' CTM.08  
investigates artistic concepts that imply the surprising and  
unforeseeable, accidents, mistakes and coincidences as a means to  
alter the dynamics of creative processes and to discover new  
aesthetic forms.
