transmediale 2012: in/compatible<br>
Thematic Call for Works and Vilém Flusser Residency Programme 2012<br>
<br>
Deadline: 31 August 2011<br>
<br>
TRANSMEDIALE THEMATIC CALL FOR WORKS 2012<br>
<br>
The 2012 edition of transmediale takes place in the Haus der
Kulturen<br>
der Welt, 31 January – 5 February 2012 exploring the theme of<br>
in/compatible. tm.12 postulates that incompatible beings drive the
logic<br>
of contemporary cultural production. We understand in/compatible
beings<br>
as aesthetic things and processes that do not necessarily connect on
the<br>
terms we are used to. The festival wants to raise the question of
what<br>
happens when such incompatible beings are brought to the fore rather<br>
than hidden away in the dark underbelly of digital culture? <br>
<br>
With this conceptual framework we are looking for artistic works in
any<br>
genre and format that either explicitly or in more subtle ways
engage<br>
the incompatible and uneasy nature of contemporary technological<br>
cultures. We imagine that these works rather than anticipating<br>
resolution, address, accentuate and invest in the unresolved
tensions<br>
across translocal media practices and systems. In particular we are<br>
calling for works that take us by surprise by not quite "fitting
in".<br>
<br>
The selected works will form part of our extensive exhibition,<br>
screening, performance and conference programme. Projects may also
be<br>
entered for the Vilém Flusser Residency Programme (formerly Award),<br>
taking the form of a 2 month artistic research residency jointly run
by<br>
tm and Universität der Künste in Berlin.<br>
<br>
Works taken into consideration for the program can be related to the<br>
following keywords and areas:<br>
Dissensual aesthetics, hacktivism, operating systems, speculative<br>
realisms, queer technologies, strange ontologies, displacements,<br>
ecologies, psychedelia(s), glitches, spam, media-archaeologies,<br>
technological obsolescence, haunted media, reverse remediations, the<br>
untimely, erotics, ambivalences, tools, law, anxieties, confusions,<br>
violence, obscurities, junk, addictions, restlessness,<br>
user-unfriendliness, destructions, attractions, surveillance,
accidents,<br>
dysfunctionality, isolation, punk, feedback as distortion,
surrealisms,<br>
aggressiveness, the uncommon, frustrations, spiritualities, risks,<br>
dubious calculations, psychosis, uneven structures, crimes.<br>
<br>

VILÉM FLUSSER RESIDENCY PROGRAMME 2012<br>
The newly organised Vilém Flusser Residency Programme supports
projects<br>
and activities which are simultaneously conceptual and
practice-based.<br>
The programme is geared towards the initiation of new research or to
the<br>
further development of existing projects. This is not a production
grant<br>
and while a public presentation/event will be expected, there is no<br>
pressure to present finished works. Where applicable, the support of<br>
publications, exhibitions, interventions and other results of the<br>
residency may be negotiated on a project to project basis. Special<br>
priority will be given to young and/or emerging artist-researchers.<br>
<br>
We are calling upon artistic research to actively explore the<br>
capabilities and limitations of transdisciplinary and transmedial<br>
situations in contemporary culture and thus to understand artistic<br>
research as exploring the links between aesthetics, materiality and<br>
politics.<br>
