transmediale.10 FUTURITY NOW!

Much of 20th century society strove to depict 2010 as a shining example of a future framed by technological progress and social harmony. But as 2010 arrived it was clear that global society was neither the utopia nor the dystopia traditionally presented. FUTURITY NOW! invited for the creation of new templates for the future and asked not what the future has in store for us, but what it is that we have in store for the future.

Since the Berlin architecture office raumlaborberlin was founded in 1999 its nine members have been dedicating themselves to exploring how public space can be activated experimentally. For transmediale.10 raumlaborberlin have designed and built the structure of the Futures Exchange situated in the foyer of the House of World Cultures: part research-station, part media-lab, part docking-module, this structure also embodies what the collective (whose name translates as spacelab) stands for itself.

The transmediale.10 festival features a packed week of exhibitions, talks, conferences, performances, workshops and more.  A preview of the festival timetable showing the dates and times of some of the key programmes is now online here or as pdf to download.
