Sister festivals transmediale and CTM come together this year for two shared performance programmes at HKW . Incorporating the latest developments in generative AI, A/V storytelling, and data sonification to explore a conflictual past, present and future, the works offer personal, critical, and speculative reflections on how AI is facilitating new understanding and intimacies with our histories, with the world around us, and with one another.

This year we will again collect donations together with CTM to support humanitarian and peacebuilding efforts aimed at the catastrophic Israel-Gaza war. Half of the donations will be sent to ALLMEP – the Alliance for Middle East Peace, with whom we will again partner for our 2025 edition, while half will be given to CADUS thanks to a new partnership.
