Essay

Former transmediale artistic director Kristoffer Gansing applies a bit of home-grown numerology to reminisce about the secrets of Vorspiel!


Essay

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.


Essay

HAUNTINGS: Nour Sokhon & Yara Mekawei // sonic performances


19:30 –
Centrum

HAUNTINGS Nour Sokhon & Yara Mekawei // sonic performances

-free entrance-

Amidst moments of profound human loss and grief, HAUNTINGS comes as a reflection on our collective consciousness. Stories that we buried under the soil, remain alive at the back of our heads like white noise, refusing to be forgotten. Like all ghosts that have yet to be laid to rest, they return repeatedly, disrupting the present and continuing to remind us of another possible future. When the voices that demand justice, equality, and freedom have been muted, we can only remind ourselves and others of the importance of holding space; to welcome and accommodate all. The ones that are here and the ones that are no longer with us, but only seen when we close our eyes, connect with them and listen carefully to their voices.

"What kind of life is this?" is an ongoing performative research by Nour Sokhon based on the many lives of migrants and asylum seekers who have disappeared at sea. News broadcasts, collected voice notes, objects related to home, live vocal loops and field recordings are the rippling elements that appear throughout the performance creating a cathartic ritual on stage. "What kind of life is this?" induces the audience to question the misinformation present within various media outlets, depending on their political agenda and how the value of human life is perceived. The work serves as a reminder to acknowledge the loss of life in our times, instead of devaluing it to mere numbers. 

In the kaleidoscopic realm of Yara Mekawei's sonic vision, the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead emerges as a profound tapestry, woven with threads of mythic antiquity and resonances that transcend temporal boundaries. In her sonic pilgrimage, Mekawei draws inspiration from the venerable scrolls of this esoteric text, an ancient Egyptian funerary guide that illuminates the journey of the soul through the afterlife. The Book of the Dead, a sacred manuscript encapsulating wisdom and ritual, becomes a living repository for Mekawei's sonic alchemy, where the verses echo like whispers across the millennia.

HAUNTINGS is curated by Jorgina Stamogianni & Rachel Monosov. The entrance to the event is free.

Centrum Reuterstraße 7 12053 Berlin
