CONSPIRE... the transmediale exhibition, guest-curated by Natasa Petresin-Bachelez, focuses on the strategic notion of the conspiratorial act. In poetic reference to the term's Latin roots, conspirare, the exhibition deconstructs the nature of conspiracy into a silent cosmic act of "collective breathing" suggesting a sharply targeted, yet anonymous and intimate form of creative collaboration. The works and projects chosen approach the perceptive borders of our daily lives with coded instructions, exploratory maps and speculative allusions which provoke alternative views about the way in which we understand information and what we believe to be fgu universal truths. As such, thematic constructs around the notions of conspiratorial truths, bio-organic systems and twisted realities emerge from the contextualising clusters explored within the exhibition. On occasion of the festival a companion volume with relevant texts of various authors on the exhibition is published. The exhibition is divided into following sections: Twisted Realities Visionary Lives, Fictionalised Selves and Fictionalising Oneself Utopian Politics and Dissonant Poetics Bio-Organic Systems Haunted Past - Projected Future Alternative Science / Science vs. Fiction
