Trampoline invites you to Tracing Mobility: Cartography and Migration in Networked Space.
Tracing Mobility sets out to examine how electronic networks and mobile media are transforming our conceptions of time, space and distance. EXHIBITION OPENING The exhibition will open on Wednesday, 23.11.11 at 19.00 at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. On that night, a music programme curated by Jeff McGrory will start at 20.00, featuring Chicoree, Birdcage Tombola, Roy Carroll & Matthias Müller. At 21.00 the exhibiting artists Simon Faithfull, Landon Mackenzie, Esther Polak & Ivar van Bekkum will give a short presentation of their works. The weekend of 26 & 27 November is comprised of an international symposium (Sat 26 from 11.00-17.00) and the Open Platform (26 & 27), bringing together many more artists and cultural practitioners with presentations, talks and discussions. The exhibition presents the positions of 16 international artists who trace the shifting terrain of global and local mobility, virtual and material movement. They use varying approaches to pursue the numerous questions of our present's mobility: Where can we escape to when online and offline worlds converge? What does the movement of a body in a landscape indicate when every point of the earth is within reach through the aid of digital technology? How do mobile devices and media alter our mindset and change our perception of time and space? Related events, including the Symposium, and the Tracing Mobility Open Platform will offer further explorations of these themes via lectures, talks and workshops. We would love to see you and your friends at the opening!
