Also this year visitors with festival or day passes are invited to take part in our daily workshop programme. It's a great great opportunity for new experiences and to enter into direct exchanges with the artists involved in the festival. Workshop topics range from courses in hacking techniques to fashion design and circuit bending workstations.

Since places are often limited we'd like to remind you to register early enough to make sure to get a place.

COS - (Consciousness of Streams)

CoS (Consciousness of Streams) activates transmediale.11 as a ubiquitous, cross-medial publica(c)tion live stream that will not end with the festival itself. CoS is an environment, a workshop series, a performative practice, and an insider view on our new way of life where cities, relationships, businesses and leisure have become information displays.
The five CoS workshops Space, Time, Emotion and Identity (part 1 & 2) for a maximum of 15 participants are aimed at encouraging the festival visitors to actively contribute to the CoS live stream. Each will follow a hands-on approach to the themes investigated through CoS.

Insecure Territories with Bengt Sjölén, Martin Howse, Brendan Howell, 

Public space does not end at the borders of visible, perceptible reality but extends into the invisible. The increased population of communication devices in public life results in a dense layering of electromagnetic content passing through both air and bodies, on route to its target. In form of a workshop and presentation, the technologies and techniques of how to read the plethora of signal in the air, manipulate it and pass it on will be adressed.
