Things are what they are\u2014but could they be different?<\/em> Unter dem Titel face value<\/em><\/a> soll die transmediale<\/a> 2018 diejenigen Werte und Wertsch\u00f6pfungsprozesse offenlegen, die zu den extremen politischen, \u00f6konomischen und kulturellen Gr\u00e4ben unserer Gegenwart beigetragen haben. Im Angesicht von wachsenden populistischen Str\u00f6mungen und immer lauter werdenden reaktion\u00e4ren Stimmen innerhalb und jenseits der heutigen Mediensph\u00e4re stellt sich die Frage, wie K\u00fcnstler_innen, Kulturschaffende und Theoretiker_innen ihre eigenen Wertesysteme reflektieren \u2013 facing values<\/em> \u2013 und dar\u00fcber hinaus auf die gegenw\u00e4rtige Tendenz reagieren k\u00f6nnen, Dinge in erster Linie nach dem \u00e4u\u00dferen Anschein zu beurteilen \u2013 taking things at face value<\/em>. Das Festival findet vom 31. Januar bis 4. Februar 2018 im Haus der Kulturen der Welt statt und bringt wie immer eine Vielzahl von kuratorischen Formaten und Arten des Wissensaustauschs zusammen \u2013 von Keynotes \u00fcber Performances und Workshops bis hin zu Screenings.<\/p>\n

The blockchain is widely heralded as the new internet\u2014another dimension in an ever faster, ever more powerful interlocking of ideas, actions, and values. This landmark publication by the curatorial and publishing platform Torque and the art and social change organization Furtherfield brings together a diverse array of artists and researchers engaged with blockchain technology, unpacking, critiquing, and marking its arrival in the cultural landscape. The blockchain\u2019s first and most notorious instantiation is Bitcoin, a highly volatile currency with an equally ambiguous value and cryptic future. Join editors and contributors of the publication for talks and discussions, to explore cryptocurrencies, alternate blockchain applications, and the launch of a free electronic version of the book.<\/p>\n

Following the discussion, attendees are invited to buy and barter for the print edition in a live, radically inflationary situation, echoing the current state of cryptocurrencies, to explore a future in which we may increasingly use multiple modes of currency and exchange.<\/p>\n

Presented in cooperation with Torque<\/a>.
