Festival Theme
 
Characterised by the title Unpredictable, CTM.08 investigates artistic concepts that imply the surprising and unforeseeable, accidents, mistakes and coincidences as a means to alter the dynamics of creative processes and to discover new aesthetic forms.
 
Intentional coincidences produce paradoxical irritations that allow for a re-enchantment and sensualisation of abstract structures – whether applicable to technological systems, social situations, or communicative and collective processes in open project structures. CTM.08 therefore examines play with the unpredictable also as a method of conscious disorientation, of asserting a provocative independence, and as immunisation against the growing desire of public and commercial organisations for security and control.
