Was ist das Besondere an trans-disziplinären Kunstformaten? Welche Übersetzungsleistung müssen die Akteure erbringen?
Das Trans What?-Symposium setzt sich in Formaten wie z.B. Performance-Lectures mit Künstlerischer Forschung, visueller Kultur und der transdisziplinären Kommunikation auseinander. Austausch und Kommunikation sind nicht nur Aufgabe, sondern auch Überlebensstrategie von (zeitgenössischer) Kunst und sichern ihre gesellschaftliche Relevanz.

In the symposium, we wish to be reflexive (not least about the use of the term trans-art), and explore further acts of translation through short papers and alternative forms of presentation such as performance-lectures. Presenters explore new modes of communication and exchange, the spaces in which knowledge is formed, produced and disseminated, challenge forms and paradigms through which artistic research operates, and reflect on the deeper consequences of changing something to something else. In discussion we hope to uncover alternative models of knowledge production, excavate relatively forgotten histories, explore the potential of technological paradigms to redefine possibilities, and reveal examples of non-traditional methods, use of non-textual language, speculations, and actions.
