Continuing our archival efforts leading up to transmediale's 40th anniversary, a comprehensive overview of all festival editions and residencies has now moved to our main website!

Step by step, this archive will grow. We look forward to sharing the progress with you over the next year 👾

Neema Githere and Juan Pablo García Sossa have been selected to curate transmediale 2026 🤍

Their shared vision builds on perspectives from geographies and epistemologies that have been historically marginalised in dominant digital narratives – articulating them into circuits, protocols, and systems of relation.

We are looking forward to welcoming them to the transmediale community ⚘

Super pleased to announce that a custom version of De/Frag (2021) will be on display at ZKM Karlsruhe as part of their new milestone show "The Story That Never Ends" from next Saturday, April 5 until September 20. The exhibition features approx. 100 works from their collection of 12,000 works of the past 70 years. It's a true honor to be part of it!

Unlike the original release, which was constrained to only 640x640 pixels, this new custom version runs at 1080x1920 resolution on a large 75" screen, and will continuously evolve over the course of the next 5½ months, i.e. for the entire duration of the exhibition.

De/Frag is a homage and exploration of the classic flood fill algorithm, combined with semi-randomly generated bit/fill patterns, multiple iteration & sorting strategies, creating an endlessly changing tapestry of complex pixel textures and tectonics, whilst revealing the inner workings of the intentionally slowed down core algorithm. It also is an exercise in algorithmic purity, attempting to devise a minimalist generative system producing maximalist variation (relative to its setup).

The downscaled 30 second time lapse shows snapshots of a 20 minute time window, with one frame taken every 5 seconds... In reality, all transitions are continuous and mesmerizing to watch unfold in unexpected way (something the time lapse cannot do justice).
