transmediale 2026: By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road
The 39th edition of transmediale looks at the re·figuration of systems, cosmologies, and technologies through the metaphorical coordinates By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road. Understanding Compassing, Metaphoring, and Protocoling as ways to bridge a multiplicity of recipes to the root-code of our systems, the festival asks if your imagination is hungry; what are the currents on our feeds; what’s at the root of our codes.
transmediale 2026 reimagines the festival as a living recursive carrier net – a hammock of relational technologies in practice that stretch across latitudes, rhythms, and root systems – converging in Berlin from 28 January to 1 February 2026 at silent green Kulturquartier as its main festival venue.
Wednesday, January 28 until Sunday, February 1
