Uit Knowledge Graph Kunstenpunt
Transmediale is a festival for art and digital culture. It is a forum of communication for artists, media workers and a broad public interested in arts. Transmediale includes exhibitions, conferences, live performances, artist presentations and a variety of fringe events throughout Berlin. Transmediale was founded in 1988 as a video art festival and has taken place annually, in Berlin, ever since.
First conceived in close relation to the Berlinale film festival, the festival changed its name from 'VideoFest' to 'Transmediale' in 1997/98, thus reflecting the fact that its programmatic scope had broadened to encompass a wide range of multimedia-related art forms. Since then, digital technologies have become firmly integrated into our everyday lives. 'Digital culture' is no avantgarde terrain any more. Transmediale has responded to this development by focusing its programmes not on the latest technical novelties and scientific speculations, but on the actual usage that people are making of such technologies.
