How do we go around a present that is evermore indeterminate, technologically mediated, and transversal to the artificial, natural, and cultural thresholds we once have known?

The students of the New Media Class at UdK Berlin are engaged with the creation and critical reflection of new technologies of communicating, feeling and sensing the unknown present and future. The exhibition is composed of projects – objects, installations, performances – developed during the global turbulence of the past two years, whose essence shed light into the ethos of our shared sense of time.

Workshop Bi0film.net. 04. February, 14:00–17:00 by Natalia Rivera & Jung Hsu

Bi0film.net opens a non-disciplinary conversation between activists, biologists, hacker communities, artists and everyone interested in co-creating other possible future communication systems. Besides the umbrella-antenna as a tool, the question and the processes around autonomous communication networks are still open for us. Together with those joining the conversation, the Bi0film.net community continues developing the possibilities for p2p, encrypted, decentralized and federated communication technologies, creating a biofilm itself that amplifies and enhances the connection of diverse communities worldwide. Join our Resist like bacteria encounter and community to share your ideas, projects, and thoughts with us.

Vorspiel Opening, 20. January, 18–21:30 at silent green, Gerichtstr. 35, 13347 Berlin
