Dear Spectres,

Transmediale 2013 is nearly upon us... And the XLterrestrials would
like to invite you to our CiTiZEN KINO debut !

As part of TM's "P2P Vorspiel" program, a continuation and new
development of last year's Re:Source project, the festival takes
further steps to be more engaged with the local curators and resident
artists of Berlin. Beginning the weekend prior to the main festival
(at HKW), from Jan 25 -27, over 35 venues will be participating w/
discussions, installations, performances and workshops.

In this version specially written and curated for TRANSMEDIALE’s BWPWAP
theme ( Back When Pluto Was A Planet ), we explore the possibilities of
“RETRO-HACKING”…

About :

CitiZen Kino's “20th Century Fix ...is retro-hackable !"

C-Kino is a hybrid of cinema, theater and digital culture, where we
collectively navigate
the topical storms and/or currents. An ongoing experimental and
expanded cinema format performed in a variety of venues.

As the trajectory of internet and digital culture is producing a
dangerous and/or unwinnable corporate landscape in
opposition to organisms living in chaotic, diverse and collaborative
social settings, we seek an emergency exit…
"This is no steampunk fantasy, not a hypothetical or sci-fi exercise,
but an extreme tactical maneuver." XLt analyst

In 1908, Charles Pathe’, the son of a butcher shop owner, invented the
newsreel in France. By the 21st century, the medium had devolved into
such artless and disconnected spectacles, so removed from consensus
reality, that a so-called information society began to resemble the
blind and automatic mimicry of a crippling malware. C-Kino goes back
in retrospex to change the course of those early gatherings in the
dark to create another kind of collective and interventionist
‘newsReal’ engagement.

w/ special guests from Telekommunisten's Octo project, Topsy Qur'et, Andre
Werner ( Director's Lounge ) ... and more...
