unfinish! can be understood in different ways, especially in relation to artistic practices involving digital media. unfinish! stands for the drama of the incomplete but also highlights the possibility of enhancement.
Under the motto unfinish! the transmediale.07 explores the conditions of finiteness and possibilities which keep artistic processes in flux, opening them to change. The exhibition of transmediale.07 unfinish! is dedicated to open-ended artistic approaches to technology, as well as to the aesthetic reflection of repetition and reversibility in physical processes.
Are we caught in a linear and unstoppable time-frame? And how do we deal with the tension between our continuously progressing lives, and a technological world in which reversibility, repetition and the erasure of the past appear both possible and attractive?
