transmediale – Festival for Art and Digital Culture

With the 2025 edition, transmediale continued its multi-year thematic arc, culminating in 'By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road' in 2026. As in previous years, silent green Kulturquartier in Berlin-Wedding was the central venue, complemented by co-programs with the CTM Festival, whose dates are traditionally intertwined with transmediale. Performances, sound art installations, film programs, and conference panels offered a dense five-day program.

In 2025, transmediale once again confirmed its position as the most important German platform for post-digital art. Artists and theorists from all continents discussed how digital infrastructures, AI, platform capitalism, and ecological crises are transforming contemporary cultural production. The festival thus remained a central meeting point for an international scene that has its most important home game in Berlin.
