We decided not to give alot of time to investigate #Transmediale #TM25 this year, b/c there's local orgs and urgencies that we felt were more important to support. But #XLTRadar put out a preview piece on thurs. after the opening nite, and perhaps it's still useful to embolden ppl to consider what challenges they can still make on the last day of the festival https://xlterrestrials.substack.com/p/more-band-aids-against-the-tech-oligarchy
