transmediale.10 Salon

The transmediale.10 Salon consists of several different programmatic clusters. Besides the traditional lectures participatory projects by international media artists and activists will be presented in the so-called 'Futures Exchange'. D.I.Y. and the collective research of ideas are also at the core of the talks and workshops offered within the Free Culture Incubator.
The transmediale.10 Salon consists of three interdisciplinary strands - talks, projects and workshops - exploring FUTURITY NOW!. With a specific focus on free culture and process-based projects, the Salon will engage cultural thinkers and makers into conversations and actions that lay down future strategies for a global network age.
 
In K1 at the HKW, transmediale.10 will continue the festival's tradition of strategic discourse with a curated set of Salon Talks focusing on the vocabulary and methodologies in digital art, politics and society questioning current takes on the concept of future. This year, process-led Salon Projects will transform the HKW foyer into a 'Futures Exchange'. Open activities, consultation sessions and project demonstrations will be running all-day, every day, throughout the festival. transmediale.10's Salon Workshops feature opportunities for hacktivists and retoolers, makers and doers, to get their hands dirty with a series of artist-led sessions that aim to visualise, capture and experiment with the essence of FUTURITY NOW!
 
Running across the entire salon programme is the Free Culture Incubator, a set of interlinked and participatory sessions led by Ela Kagel. In the public eye, the project will bring together stakeholders from the arts, science and business sectors and work on a business model for a cultural enterprise of the future.
