29 – 30 Jan
The festival begins with a series of workshops, with various contributions from artists, musicians, historians, and activists. DeForrest Brown, Jr. (https://transmediale.de/en/2025/event/spaceship-earth-2) leads a group questioning artists’ and institutions’ roles as ‘saviours’ of techno’s legacy, while eeefff (https://transmediale.de/en/2025/event/algosomatic-sessions) examines distant temporalities, work regimes, errors, leisure, and punishment. Ren Loren Britton (https://transmediale.de/en/2025/event/indexing-prototyping-transcrip-tech) focuses on community organising and techno-vernacular creativity, while Megen de Bruin-Molé (https://transmediale.de/en/2025/event/structures-of-haunting) leads divination and séance sessions.
These and many other workshops are open through registration or tickets. Find a full overview below.
