transmediale in collaboration with silent green Film Feld Forschung and the European Media Art Platform are presenting the group exhibition UnNatural Encouters in the Betonhalle of silent green and transmediale studio.
Ten works, created between 2022 and 2024 within the scope of the European Media Art Platform Europe-wide residency programme, will be presented in the Betonhalle. As part of the exhibition, transmediale will present an eleventh work in the festival’s studio space.
The interactive installation of Ali Akbar Mehta in the transmediale studio will be on view until February 2, 2025, including the upcoming festival.
The group show is an exploration of the fundamental issues of our time: environmental sustainability, socio-ecological justice and technological change. All of the artists work on a transdisciplinary and collaborative basis, bringing together art, science, and technology in innovative ways. Their acoustic experiments, immersive landscapes, and speculative visions of the future examine the complex relationships between people, technology, and the environment. Their approaches are diverse, ranging from data visualisation and experimental documentary film to sound sculpture, performance, video, and interactive VR installations. Each work opens up new perspectives on the dynamics of our ecosystem and encourages reflection on the far-reaching consequences of human activity on the environment.
With works by Tatsuru Arai & Boris Vaitovič, Carl Emil Carlsen, Bethan Hughes, Juliane Jaschnow & Stefanie Schroeder, masharu, Ali Akbar Mehta, Davor Sanvincenti, Studio Above&Below, Transformative Narratives, Endi Tupja & Klodiana Millona and Marc Vilanova.
An accompanying programme of workshops, talks, and performances invites visitors to delve deeper into the themes of the artworks.
UnNatural Encounters is a collaboration between silent green Kulturproduktionen GmbH and Co. KG with silent green Film Feld Forschung, European Media Art Platform, and transmediale.
