27th of January
The XLterrestrials present an all new CitiZen Kino : “20th Century Fix, social media for social bodies is retro-hackable”
14:00h a sunday brunch matinee ( all ages)
20:00h an evening Adult X version
w/ special guests, to be announced.
Citizen Kino is a hybrid of cinema, theater and digital culture, where we collectively navigate the topical storms and/or currents. An ongoing experimental format performed in a variety of venues.
In this version specially written and curated for TRANSMEDIALE’s BWPWAP, we explore the possibilities of retro-hacking. As the trajectory of internet and digital culture has produced a dangerous and/or unwinnable corporate landscape in opposition to organisms living in chaotic, diverse and collaborative social settings, we seek an emergency exit. This is no steampunk fantasy, not a hypothetical or sci-fi exercise, but an extreme tactical maneuver.
In 1908, Charles Pathe’, the son of a butcher shop owner, invented the newsreel in France. By the 21st century, the medium had devolved into such artless and disconnected spectacles, so removed from consensus reality, that a so-called information society began to resemble the blind and automatic mimicry of a crippling malware. C-Kino goes back in retrospex to change the course of those early gatherings in the dark to create another kind of collective and interventionist ‘newsreal’ experience.
This event is part of the Vorspiel
transmediale™ festival for art and digital culture berlin
