transmediale

𖣂
Each year, the festival investigate emerging cultural and societal transformations instigated by new technologies. The festival shapeshifts to find the form fit for its yearly thematic reflections, which were, in 2021-22, refusal, in 2023, scale and in 2024, content.

Interdisciplinary in nature, the festival features films, performances, conferences, exhibitions, workshops and everything in between. The three editions Jade worked on took place in multiple venues, including the Akademie der Kunste, Berghain, HKW, Kunsthalle Kreuzberg, silent green, as well as distributed in Berlin’s urban infrastructures - spätis, Zu verschenken networks, U-bahn advertising platforms, airport landing strips, satellite maps, and other locations.

The well tempered


The well tempered is an ever-expanding curatorial project evolving from geoengineering and terraforming fantasies. It explores what is becoming of us as we embrace planetary-scale, intentional interventions on the atmosphere, and what in turns happens to the heavens. 

In the form of nights of performances and exhibitions, the programme took place at Espace Niemeyer (Paris), Fondation Fiminco and Frac Ile-de-France (Romainville), and soft power (Berlin).

That’s Hot 

𖣂
Over the course of three summer afternoons by the Humboldthain pool, That’s Hot invited speakers and performers to think through possible tactics of insurgent counter-operations available within the metrics and logics of the digital long-established. The Girl, as theorized by Alex Quicho, was often referred, as well as counter-swarming technics, distraction, intellectual hostility, and thinly veiled naivity. 

The events took place at Tropez (Berlin).

Fatal & Fallen

𖦏

Fatal & Fallen is a growing film and lecture programme, shadow-tracing revenge desires. It finds its origin in the trope of the deadly, deranged and delinquent woman pictured in exploitation and arthouse cinema, across the genres of Hong Kong’s Girls with Guns, Japan pinku eiga, South Korean thrillers and Taiwan’s Black Movies. Over the years, Fatal & Fallen has evolved beyond the mentioned genres, to become an investigation on revenge and bloody take backs, whether human or inhuman.

Changing form each edition, the programme was presented at Asian Film Archive (Singapore), Sinema transtopia (Berlin), Taiwan Film and Audiovisiual Institute (Taipei) and Nguyen Art Foundation (HCHC).
