1996, internet based
Who at the time when the first waves of the dot.com hype hit the shores of Internet culture would have imagined that this new economy could reproduce a figure of financial scarcity known from the physical world? An Internet beggar!? Was this global network not supposed to overcome such old-fashioned social problems and release us all into an endlessly rich virtuality? Maybe, but the situation is also more intricate than a matter of simple reproduction. The “internet beggar” in this piece by Heath Bunting is smart. He understands the Internet and takes advantage of it, just like the pioneers of the dot.com economy. Squatting the information superhighway, he supposedly earned around 25,000 Euros in the first year of his activity. Moreover, he has survived the bust of the dot.com bubble and continues to work. “Excuse me mister! Could you spare a dollar?”
GenZ&U is a safe space organization that coaches tweens, teens, young adults, and parents on how to revive the lost connection. We're bridging the generational gap, one family at a time.
Il laboratorio 'Salviamo Gli Animali' nasce con il proposito di approfondire con bambini e ragazzi in età scolare il rapporto uomo-animale, e le conoscenze relative a questo argomento.
L'idea di progettare degli incontri di sensibilizzazione sulle caratteristiche sociali, emotive ed etologiche degli animali – uomo compreso – vuole, con semplicità e immediatezza, attraverso giochi, disegni e momenti di dibattito, guidare alla conoscenza più approfondita e alla riflessione sul rispetto dell'altro.
Il ciclo di incontri si è svolto da gennaio a febbraio nella scuola media “Garibaldi” di Genzano, includendo sette classi prime.
Con ogni sezione sono stati strutturati due incontri della durata di due ore ciascuno, durante i quali i bambini hanno potuto cimentarsi in attività e dibattiti su questioni legate alla conoscenza reciproca e dell'empatia.

The Glitch Moment(um) | Rosa Menkman
The Glitch Moment(um), is a audiovisual work in which Rosa Menkman sets out to tell the story of “every glitch” as a particular moment. Often described as an uncanny, threatening loss of control, the glitch throws a spectator into a void, which finally gives birth to new meaning. This can take place via exciting, archetypal or mundane forms and explains why eventually every glitch can become a new fashion, despite its initial critical potential.

The idea that everything is interconnected has become a staple of intellectual life. As a related phenomenon, “contextualisation” is now the method of first resort throughout the humanities. This lecture opposes the general trend of emphasising systems and wholes over autonomous individuals. Among the greatest drawbacks of holistic ontology is its inability to explain disruptions and surprises in any system it studies. At best, one posits some sort of “materiality” lying outside all formatted systems that serves as their underground source of change, a theory that fails for a variety of reasons. The only alternative is to adopt an object-oriented model of fully formatted entities lying beyond the grasp of the human mind and even of each other. After providing some theoretical background for this claim, I will consider several recent political phenomena that are better understood by an object-oriented approach than a holistic one.

Opaque devices, spyware, search engines and phones that talk about us behind our back: the deep reach of technology in our lives shapes both how we read the world and what we do in it.
The Weise7 in/compatible Laboratorium is an experimental workspace set up as an exchange between an artist and engineer run studio space at Weisestraße 7 in Neukölln and the Labor Berlin gallery at HKW. The Studio Weise7 exhibition brings together a series of works that frame a volatile interrogation of our increased dependence on machines, computer networks, databases and digital automation. The works consist of curious devices, software and circuitry, each representing a unique, critical engagement with the challenges of our "techno-political condition". In doing so, they serve as triggers for discourse, code for study and tools for deployment.
During transmediale 2012, Weise7 will present four different in/compatible themes which are being made manifest through installations and intensive mini-workshops and presentations. After the transmediale, the laboratorium will transform into a "moratorium": in this phase, part of the Labor Berlin space will be closed off to the public, and the four themes will extend into longer workshops carried out in the Weise7 studio space. The workshops will have a feedback to the Labor Berlin space as well and the process will be concluded with a publication launch. At this event, an artefact will be presented that functions as a networked archive publication of all the in/compatible Laboratorium activities.
This exhibition is part of the ongoing Labor Berlin series at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), a project dedicated to the creativity and potential of international artists with the city as their new home and focuses on Berlin and its production conditions for artistic creation.
The Haus der Kulturen der Welt is a place for international contemporary arts and a forum for current developments and discourse. It presents artistic productions from around the world, with a special focus on non-European cultures and societies. Visual arts, music, literature, performing arts, film, academic discussions and digital media are all linked in an interdisciplinary programme that is unique in Europe.

Any kind of media installation based on electronic systems or micro controllers requires some sort of printed circuit board (PCB). To get a PCB one has to manufacture them. Industrial standards are a challenge and it takes some time and money to get them ready, ending up with a lot of dangerous chemicals, not to mention the hundreds of tiny holes one has to drill. Paperboards or PaperPCBs are a smart way to spare you the trouble. Wolfgang Spahn developed them as an open hardware system that allows everyone to create PCBs quite easily (dernulleffekt.de). One can design and modify them on any computer using a simple drawing programme like Gimp or Photoshop. After printing the circuit design, one just sticks it on a standard protoboard – and voilá: a proper and solid PCB has come into existence. PaperPCBs are a perfect extension to the already existing Arduino system and they are a perfect substitute if one likes to create an individual paper version of the Arduino. In the workshop Wolfgang Spahn will teach how to create and modify PaperPCBs. As an outcome of the workshop every participant will have designed and build his or her own Paperduino-Uno. Please bring your laptop (complete with Arduino IDE) and an Arduino. You may also choose a picture beforehand that you like to print on your circuit board.

Presentation of the reSource for transmedial culture
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 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.

Discussion with Inke Arns (de), Wolfgang Ernst (de), Jussi Parikka (fi/uk)
Moderator 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.

Keynote by Jodi Dean (us)
Moderated by Krystian Woznicki (de/pl)
Hundreds of thousands of people have recently responded to capitalist dispossession by taking space, occupying sites that, ostensibly open and public, the process of occupation reveals as closed to the many and belonging to the few. As a tactic, occupation responds to communicative capitalism’s ideology of publicity. Communicative capitalism announces the convergence of democracy and capitalism in networked communication technologies that promise access and equality, urge participation, and celebrate creative engagement. Occupation accepts that promise. The resulting disturbance – pepper spray, riot gear, eviction – reveals the incompatibility at communicative capitalism’s heart. At this point, though, the tactic of occupation is compatible with the system it ostensibly rejects. Thus, it is necessary to consider the gap between occupation and its politicisation, between occupation as a tactic and occupation as a form.

Borrowing terms from the cognitive and computer sciences, Liquid State Machine usually describes a soup of connected nodes, a situation with inputs, nonlinear functions and outputs which computes something or assists in its computation.
In this instance, the performance space becomes the computational soup bucket, an experimental Space-Noise-Continuum based on the connections between the plentiful nodes of both the kinetic-electromagnetic-noise apparatus of Martin Howse and the analogue/digital projection-machines of Wolfgang Spahn.
The performance begins with the subtle influence across these two distinct systems, arriving at an ultimate feedback between light (waves) and sound. LSM presents a play with transformations between distinct physical system domains.
