Dark Drives: Uneasy Energies in Technological Times
www.transmediale.de/de/node/20516
www.transmediale.de/node/20515
The focus on “uneasy energies in technological times” in the transmediale 2012 exhibition responds directly to the overall “in/compatible” theme of the festival. On the one hand, uneasy energies can be said to produce the in/compatible, while on the other hand the in/compatible can be said to produce uneasy energies. The two form a circuit of mutual exchange. The question of which one of the two comes first and determines the other is beside the point. The point is rather to engage with the multiple instances where uneasy energies and the in/compatible connect and generate processes that challenge consensual and standardised perceptions of technology. As such the exhibition is inscribed within the context of the festival theme at the same time as it is intended to expand the vocabulary of the in/compatible through the art works and cultural objects displayed.
But what exactly are “uneasy energies in technological times”? Rather than attempting a definition by references to philosophy or art history, the exhibition through an extensive and diverse group of examples claims that distortions, ambiguities, irritations, ironies, and unrest constitute as a significant trajectory in our relations with modern technology and have done so since the use value of electricity was discovered. It is a trajectory that resists conventional formalisation and the exhibition challenges visitors to develop a sensibility and intelligence towards the trajectory as a way to engage with the critical and inventive potentials that it contains.
However, just like the uneasy energies in themselves do not add up to a clear point, the exhibition does not aim at resolution. It offers no promise of overcoming the uneasy energies. On the contrary, it claims that uneasy energies are insuperable, an integral and constitutive part of technological times, and invites visitors to explore the trajectories and horizons of the dark drives that they present.
The exhibition is curated by Jacob Lillemose.

In computer jargon, to "unarchive" something is to de-compress data, such as from a zip file or on a backup drive. The archive in this form is an unaccessible, incompatible being. It is inherently in need of unpacking. Join us in this session in an attempt to dig into the 25-year old transmediale archive and unpack some of its impenetrable secrets.
Initially, transmediale Advisory Board member Dieter Daniels will place the history of the festival within the context of the emergence and subsequent institutionalisation of media arts festivals in Germany and abroad. Baruch Gottlieb will then talk about his work with the transmediale archive as such, explaining how it is being digitised, disseminated online and given a presence in the current festival programme. A more curatorial perspective on past festivals will be given by Thomas Munz, former transmediale film and video curator, who will focus on unpacking works shown at transmediale from the late 1990s onwards. Finally, two special guests from different formative and transitional eras in the festival history: curators Rudolf Frieling and Susanne Jaschko who have been asked to each "unarchive" an item from the transmediale history.

Year: 1996
Duration: 13 min
Format: film/video
The Suicide Box by the Bureau of Inverse Technology (B.I.T.) is a motion detection video system designed to capture vertical activity. The system includes the B.I.T. camera, motion capture card, analysis software and a case. In standard operation any vertical motion inside the frame will trigger the camera to record to disk, supplying public, frame-accurate data of a social phenomenon not previously quantified. In 1996 B.I.T. installed the Suicide Box for trial application in range of the Golden Gate Bridge. The placement was determined to exploit the specific cultural climate of San Francisco as both information capital (gateway to Silicon Valley) and suicide capital of the USA. At first, excessive triggering caused by unanticipated seagull interference disabled the box, but this was quickly corrected with recalibration of the horizontal field sample information, and the initial deployment period of 100 days metred 17 bridge events. The video shown here is the report delivered by B.I.T. following the test.

Discussion with Inke Arns (de), Wolfgang Ernst (de), Jussi Parikka (fi/uk) and Siegfried Zielinski (de)
Conceived and moderated by Timothy Druckrey (us)
With such an array of histories whirling through the media sphere over the past decades, it seems important to tackle some questions about how these methodologies have and are inflecting an equally wide range of artistic practices that incorporate, re-evaluate, rethink, spoof, or re-invent technologies under rubrics ranging from “archaeology” to “variantology”. This “Open Conversation” brings together a range of participants whose work traverses historiographic and contemporary curatorial practices that resonate with assessments and contributions to this debate. In a sphere with such varied approaches to artistic production – geneaologies, archaeologies, and other approaches to revive, extend, reconsider, etc., previous techniques or media – this “conversation” will attempt to bridge differences, clarify methodologies, and, most importantly, ask what is the relevance of all this historiography in the working spheres where art is being made.

The reSource for transmedial culture is an initiative of transmediale, which aims to create a distributed platform and a peer-production context of research, knowledge and artistic practices throughout 2012 and beyond. The reSource works in partnership with CTM/DISK, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien and the Post-Media Lab of the Leuphana University Lüneburg. Within the aegis of facilitating collaboration and the sharing of resources and knowledge between the transmediale festival in Berlin and the local and translocal scene engaged with art and digital culture, the reSource acts as a link between the cultural production of art festivals and collaborative networks in the field of art and technology, hacktivism and politics. The launch of the reSource takes place at transmediale with a dissemination of workshops, talks and performances, looking into the future through a series of events scheduled in the course of 2012, leading to the next transmediale festival in 2013.
With: Tatiana Bazzichelli (transmediale), Stéphane Bauer (Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien, Berlin), Oliver Baurhenn (CTM, Berlin), Clemens Apprich and Oliver Lerone Schultz (Post-Media Lab, Leuphana University Lüneburg). Introduced by Kristoffer Gansing.
The second part of this event is the launch of the Vilém Flusser Residency Programme.

Mort Aux Vaches Extra Extra ist ein kompositorisches Projekt des Musik-Mavericks und Warrior Gæoudjiparl, bei dem er sich auf radikale Weise dafür einsetzt, die Computermusik- und Medienkunstkrise zu lösen. Das Projekt besteht aus mehreren Alben, interaktiven Spiele-Büchern, einer unabhängigen Schule und jetzt noch dazu aus der großformatigen Installation MORT AUX VACHES EKSTRA EXTRA – THE GIVE AWAY! Alles, was Gæoudjiparl besitzt (und aus den Überbleibseln einer zusammengekrachten Bahntrasse gerettet hat), hat er in diese Installation integriert und wird nun umsonst weggegeben. Diese spendable Art macht einen ganz wichtigen Teil des Projektes aus: Bei Konzerten und Vorträgen vergibt er schon seit längerem Schallplatten und Bücher und 2011 hat er ein “Album-Objekt” herausgebracht, das einen 500 Kronen-Schein beinhaltet, aber für 100 Kronen verkauft wurde. Auf der transmediale 2012 folgen die Schenkungen besonderen Regeln und jeder Akt wird im Zusammenhang mit einem kleinen Vortragsritual an einem eigens von Gæoudjiparl dafür ausgewählten Ort geschehen.

Mort Aux Vaches Extra Extra is a compositional project launched by the musical maverick and warrior Gæoudjiparl to radically engage with and solve the crisis in computer music and media art. The project encompasses several albums, interactive game books, an autonomous school, and now the large-scale installation MORT AUX VACHES EKSTRA EXTRA – THE GIVE AWAY! For the installation Gæoudjiparl has brought his entire belongings (saved from the ruins of a collapsed railroad construction) and is giving them all away for free. This kind of generosity constitutes an integral part of the project: he has given away vinyls and books at several concerts and lectures; in 2011 he published an “album object” containing a 500 Danish Crowns note and sold it for 100 Danish Crowns. At transmediale 2012 the give-aways follow certain idiosyncratic rules and each will be accompanied by a small ritual lecture at a spot chosen by Gæoudjiparl.
