the programme planning for the upcoming  transmediale - international media
art festival berlin - is progressing fast. in the coming weeks, we will be
sending out regular news updates which will, as soon as possible, also be
reflected on the festival website which is under construction.

here is a first overview over the main parts of the festival programme:

* two-day CONFERENCE with two international panels each day:

- Social Software (8 feb afternoon) - about software as a designed motor of
social change

production and distribution on the net
