Here you con read the interview with Andreas Broeckmann, artistic director of transmediale.

transmediale.06 is devoted to artistic ideas and strategies which subvert the technological paradigm of reality.

REALITY ADDICTS don't attempt to understand or evaluate the world. They install little traps, commit themselves to nonsense, and seek to multiply reality by means of exaggeration, rupture, distance, and ever-new diversions.

Which cinematic form would correspond perfectly to the portrayal of reality? A documentary seems most appropriate, thus proven by several contributions to transmediale's video programme.

Are there any more ethical borders or walls against which art can rebel? And how significant are the aesthetic strategies of transgression within today's reality?
