Transmediale engages in reflective, aesthetic and speculative positions in between art, technology and culture. An annual festival and numerous cooperation projects articulate the relationship between technology and culture in non-linear, dynamic ways. Transmediale expresses a critical understanding of technology as being more than the digital as well as of the cultural being more than what is going on within institutionalised fields of production. In the video work L’image, an image has disappeared at Presseux Village: under a garden shelter, a piece of landscape is missing from the décor. The media and scientists from the whole world ponder over this disappearance. Will our heroes manage to get to the bottom of this mystery?
