The reSource network has been an extremely valuable resource in the process of establishing and running SPEKTRUM Berlin. It allowed us to connect with like-minded people in the city, to start up new collaborations, and to learn from those facing similar issues in running project spaces.


Essay

The essay summarizes the Czech-Brazilian cultural theorist and media philosopher Vilém Flusser’s ideas on the apparatus, codes, and programmed and manipulated society. He ends his texts by highlighting the importance of artists who might be able to play with and against the apparatus and challenge mass media and their preprogrammed functions.


Essay

From 2011 to 2014, Tatiana Bazzichelli and a team of others designed a sprawling event program called “reSource transmedial culture Berlin,” which picked up on transmediale-related projects and flung them far further.

BasTa! is not drone. BasTa! is not hurdy-gurdy. BasTa! is not electronic music. BasTa! is not unplugged. BasTa! is not fancy. BasTa! is not a capella. BasTa! is not a game. BasTa! is not a revolutionary social movement. BasTa! is not a non-profit organization. BasTa! is not Pasta. BasTa! is not slow-food. BasTa! is not RGNTDJÛ. BasTa! is not genug. BasTa! is not das Ende. BasTa! is not an insult. BasTa! is a Mischling.
