The reSource programme during transmediale 2012

The reSource for transmedial culture constitutes a substantial part of the transmediale 2012 programme with a constellation of workshops, talks and performances distributed into five different sub-themes: reSource Methods, reSource Activism, reSource Networks, reSource Markets and reSource Sex.

reSource Methods investigate intersections between artistic production and research, reflecting on methodologies of curating (post)media art as well as on experimental and speculative methods of in/compatibility through artistic practices.

With Florian Wüst, Kathy Rae Huffman, Eckart Lottman, Pit Schultz, Roberta Buiani, Alessandra Renzi, Nicola Angrisano, and others.

reSource Networks reflects on viral and distributed strategies of networking, questioning the concept of networking itself and proposing alternative to proprietary systems.

With Steve Lambert, Daniel Garcia Andujar, Jaromil, Kate Rich, Shintaro Miyazaki and Elanor Colleoni.

reSource Sex reflects on the interference and overlapping between sex business and ‘alternative’ porn, aiming to explore and discuss the open interzona which exists in between the often male-oriented mainstream porn, and the more narrow scene of queer and alt porn communities.
