Facilitated by art mediators, this guided exhibition tour (~1,5 h) offers an in-depth contextualisation of the artworks on display and the exhibition's theme. In dialogue with our art mediators, the format allows time for questions and discussion.
Guided exhibition tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays in English and German language at 12:00. For detailed information on language/date, check the ticket shop.
In addition to the ticketed guided exhibition tours, transmediale offers short introductions to the exhibition by our art mediators. The brief tour (~30-45 min) provides a quick overview of the exhibition and helps to contextualise selected artistic positions.
The free exhibition tours take place on selected Thursdays at 19:00, alternating between English and German.

This special tour format is designed to explore the exhibition and its way to engage with new technologies and social media in a simple and accessible way. In dialogue with art mediators, visitors exchange on the impact of digital culture on our lives and discuss the presence (or absence) of online content in our every day and how it influences our language, behavior, and perception of the world.
The format invites people of every age and can be especially interesting for elderly people or the very youngsters. The purpose is to increase the understanding of technology and its socio-political commentary which is an essential part of internet culture and the core of this exhibition.

Kill your phone is an open workshop format. Participants are invited to make their own signal-blocking phone pouch. In the pouch, the phone can't send or receive any signals. It is dead - and very safe!
How to wrap your phone to avoid any wireless connection? How to pack your phone so it can't record any sound? Which materials work best? Where to get them? What are the cheapest and fastest solutions? We'll have fabrics, tools, and a sewing machine.
