Entitled ‘By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road,’ the 39th edition of transmediale is dedicated to the reconfiguration of systems, cosmologies, and technologies. Using artistic practices such as ‘compassing,’ “metaphoring” and ‘protocoling,’ the festival explores ways to link diverse recipes to the root code of our systems – and in doing so, poses pressing questions: Is your imagination hungry? What flows through our feeds? What meanings are hidden in our codes?
