The transmediale.10 Video Tour
This year’s video touring programme is a selection of outstanding works reflecting the transmediale.10 theme - FUTURITY NOW!, examining 2010 as a year which has been synonymous with past images of the future. Writers and commentators throughout the 20th century strove to depict 2010 as a shining example of a future framed by technological progress and social harmony. But as 2010 drew nearer it became clear that global society is neither the utopia nor the dystopia traditionally presented in these fictions, architectures and theories of the future. Indeed it could be said that the future is experiencing an identity crisis! The eight videos selected for the programme use a range of performative narratives and sampling techniques to investigate what these notions of future could be.

Elodie Pong - AFTER THE EMPIRE
