During the 2012 festival a number of special projects relating to the in/compatible thematic as well as the 25 year anniversary are presented at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. These take place outside the framework of the curated exhibition and feature new works especially developed for the festival.
transmediale 2012 is an in/compatible being. Incompatibility is the condition that arises when things are not working together. With transmediale 2012, we are investigating the productive and destructive sides of incompatibility as a fundamental condition for cultural production in times of crisis. In this context transmediale 2012 calls for a transversal approach. With our theme in/compatible we are acknowledging that there is equally the need for creative hacks and modifications, as there is a need for a refusal of the quick re-integration into business as usual.
