Well, there seems to be a problem. Have been at Transmediale only once 
some years ago, Go Public, and it was a very international and personal 
event IMHO. Maybe not for everybody. Maybe you have to have personal 
relations to participants, that it gets a "real life" meeting or 
whatever that is more than just a collection of words and  chips.

Asked Natalie to forward her reply and here it is, dont know inhowfar 
she agrees with the TAZ Article, his suggestions sounded rather 
conventional.

Current developments,

H.

Stefan Heidenreich is absolutely right! Sad but true. Only Transmediale's 
sidebar Club Transmediale (which has long eclipsed the mother planet) and 
some other satellite events (like at Pirate Cinema) bear any witness to 
current developments.

The exhibition-harmless, banal designer video art, Satie-like ameublement 
(without Satie's then novel concept), would fit in any doctor's waiting room 
or bank building lobby.

Do we still need the subisidy-guzzling Transmediale, when there are so many 
more interesting platforms in Berlin. Irony: the traditionally-minded 
Arsenal/Freunde der Kinemathek/Forum, whose primary focus is on the history 
of the moving image and from which Transmediale was spun off (as Videofest, 
in 1988) to cover what the Forum didn't get in terms of new developments in 
video, has surpassed Transmediale, too, with Forum Expanded - not all 
encompassing and very much the handwriting of the curators behind it, but 
very credible in what they choose to focus on. Things have come full circle, 
I guess.

Best regards,
Natalie Gravenor
