A program of outstanding audiovisual performances on the fragility of our contemporary condition, it's radical affirmation and speculative expansion. Curated in collaboration with transmediale.
 
The fragility of global atmospheric, economic, technological and cultural coherences  demands general awareness.

Radical affirmation and speculative expansion are keys with which these artists open our contemporary condition up for change.
