The transmediale 2000 festival occurred at the turn of the millenium: the whole world was speculating about major computer break downs, philosophies that go astray discovering never-imagined paths of cognitive territory, and the world took one step closer to its own doom.

The world of media changed in so far as everything that used to exist on a material basis, such as newspapers, books and even the further technologized TV, was distributed digitally. However, books and newspapers still exist and are made accessible from all over the world by anybody at anytime. transmediale 00 documented the changing artistic practice in a media-technologically oriented culture at the beginning of a new millenium.
