2013

The imagery of transmediale 2013 BWPWAP particularly reflects the contemporary phenomenon of recontextualisation in internet-user culture. The lively and quick exchange of memes, the creation of tiny entities of information and their constant change overs involve a certain ability of association, the possibility to deal with the complexity of a reference jungle.

Researching BWPWAP reflected on the festival theme of the following year, BWPWAP (Back When Pluto Was a Planet). Like the festival, it interrogated techno-cultural processes of displacement and invention, asking for artistic and speculative responses to new cultural imaginaries.
