you're doing amazing sweetie is a fanfiction, is reality tv, is a mood, is a feeling.

Exploring the horror of content, the festival questioned how logics of content production determine and frustrate our relations to technology. The 37th edition of transmediale challenged the allure of unusable politics that spawn from cycles of consumption and distraction. you're doing amazing sweetie featured artists, thinkers, and practitioners exploring how language, relations, and political possibility become artifice through 100%, 24/7 access to content.

programme overview

Inspired by the reality of reality tv, two seasons of day and night transmediale drama took place at silent green, followed by a one-day Reunion at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Responding to the festival theme, transmediale presented two major exhibitions: this is perfect, perfect, perfect and Uncensored Lilac, together with the installation Oceanic Refractions in collaboration with CTM festival. Alongside and within the festival, partner projects  including a number of workshops were realised to nurture the broader experience of the festival.

Bassam Issa Al-Sabah Jennifer Mehigan, Uncensored Lilac, 2024
26 January – 14 April 2024
Uncensored Lilac

Uncensored Lilac is an exhibition by Bassam Issa Al-Sabah and Jennifer Mehigan that tells a story about revenge and desire. At the centre of the exhibition is a 30-minute film that follows a group of goddesses and their companions. Their land and ways of communication with each other have been destroyed by climate collapse, and as the temperature rises, strange forms of dissonant and dissident behaviour emerge between them.
