Technopolitics at transmediale


*Opening: 26 January 2017, 7 pm*
neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst
Oranienstraße 25 | 10999 Berlin



In collaboration with the TECHNOPOLITICS working group, *transmediale*
presents the exhibition /Tracing Information Society – a Timeline/,
shown at neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) *from Jan 27  to
Feb 5, 2017.*

For /Tracing Information Society – a Timeline/, TECHNOPOLITICS turns the
exhibition venue into a curated knowledge space. A twelve-meter-long
timeline depicts the development of the information society from 1900
until today. While moving along the timeline, visitors experience the
emergence, transformation, and impact of the information society and the
diverse influences on cultural, academic, or political events. This
multidimensional framework sets the discusive pattern for the project’s
orientation to critique and break down the neoliberal (dis)order of
information.

TECHNOPOLITICSadditionally provides an extensive collection of
corresponding material in the time-table format, encouraging a deeper
examination of the subject matter. The exhibition is accompanied by a
series of workshops, lectures, and salons.

Among the participants are *Wolfgang Ernst, Anselm Franke, Margarete
Jahrmann, Cornelia Sollfrank, Geoff Cox, Jacob Lund, Verina Gfader, Anne
Kølbæk Iverson, Winnie Soon, Anke Hennig, Clemens Apprich.*
