Under the theme CONSPIRE… transmediale.08 aims to
hear from a broad range of artists, media activists and academics
working within the realms of digital art and culture in ways which may
be read as elaborating upon and challenging our understanding of
collaborative and network practice. As such transmediale.08 looks to
the cross-disciplinary tinkerers, utopian spelunkers, conspiratorial
hoaxsters and stealth tacticians who question, subvert, undermine and
bypass the unspoken rules, hidden codes of conduct and assumed truths
entrenched within our information driven communication cultures and
ideological belief structures.
By exploring subversive artistic
methodologies and developing (counter-) conspiratorial strategies to
uncover new forms of expression and digital discourse CONSPIRE…
will attempt to enter the increasingly prevalent yet ambiguous worlds
of network induced narratives, cryptic environments and speculative
inquiry.
