The book explores blockchain technology beyond its economic narratives and technical promises, as a social device to rehearse post-capitalist imaginaries. The presentation is followed by a conversation with terra0, moderated by Chris Dake-Outhet.
Building towards the festival, the Lattice Labs introduce a process-based approach to collective learning and knowledge dissemination. The Labs are a series of experimental working groups dedicated to rethinking and testing alternatives to technological monocultures of extraction and surveillance. Running in the months before the festival, they bring artists and researchers together for sustained cycles of critical discussion and collaborative making, functioning as infrastructures for collective inquiry.
transmediale is an annual festival and a platform for critical reflection on cultural transformation from a post-digital perspective. For over thirty years, one of the leading international events in the field of digital art and culture.
