To extend the knowledge and thoughts the participants gained from those festivals,
Afra Suci Ramadhan (OK. Video Festival), Dyantini Adeline and Yovista Ahtajida (The Youngrrr), and Rizki Lazuardi are happy to discuss the contemporary significance of art and technology and their connection to our daily lives. They will also share impressions about the festival, thoughts on why this edition was special and what they learnt about art and digital cultural practices in other parts of the world in a public sharing session during Pekan Seni Media Indonesia. Aside from the futuristic development of digital technology, obscure traditional practices and myths that play a role in other societies will also be featuring topics; as well as the transmediale program itself and its topics: Big data, the power of algorithm, digital privacy, and more.
The
sharing session will be held in Indonesian language and will be followed by an informal discussion. It aims at giving new insights on how the development of art and progressing technologies connect with life and society.
transmediale is a Berlin-based festival and year-round project that draws out new connections between art, culture, and technology. It considers technology as being more than the digital world and the cultural as being more than what emerges from within institutionalized fields of production. Accordingly, the activities of transmediale aim at fostering a critical understanding of contemporary culture and politics as saturated by media technologies. In the scope of its acclaimed annual festival, transmediale presents an extensive range of exhibitions, conferences, screenings, performances, and publications to 25,000 visitors. Each year, a specific theme provides the framework for hundreds of artists, media activists, researchers, designers, and other creative tinkerers to engage in reflective, aesthetic, and speculative positions in between art, culture, and technology.
CTM is an international festival dedicated to contemporary electronic, digital and experimental music, as well as the diverse range of artistic activities in the context of sound and club cultures. Since 1999, it takes place concurrently and cooperatively with the transmediale. CTM’s aim is to present the international productions in experimental and electronic music and audiovisual performance, as well as to reflect recent artistic, social and technical developments in music culture in panels, screenings and presentations.
