Transmodern Festival exhibitions, performances, and installations provide a rare and comprehensive glimpse into some of the world’s most radical contemporary artists. The artists presented in the festival defy traditional genres and embrace radical innovation through transmedia, clashes of organic vs. artificial intelligence, psychogeography, dislocation of consensus reality, real politic, and collective cultural action.
