The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of a new technology category and a user-interface revolution. Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.

Humble Beginnings on an IKEA Table

In early 2003, the new Consumer Products Group, led by David Kurlander,
presented the idea to Bill Gates, Microsoft chairman, in a group review.
Gates instantly liked the idea and encouraged the team to continue
to develop their thinking. The virtual team expanded, and within a
month, through constant discussion and brainstorming, the fi rst humble
prototype was born and nicknamed T1. The model was based on an
IKEA table with a hole cut in the top and a sheet of architect vellum
used as a diffuser. The evolution of Surface had begun. A variety of early
applications were also built, including pinball, a photo browser and a
video puzzle. As more applications were developed, the team saw the
value of the surface computer beyond simply gaming and began to favor
those applications that took advantage of the unique ability of Surface to
recognize physical objects placed on the table. The team was also beginning
to realize that surface computing could be applied to a number of different
embodiments and form factors.

*transmediale.08 - Conspire ... & club transmediale.08 - Unpredictable*

Together, transmediale and club transmediale invite the submission of works and projects for the festival 2008. Submissions for both festivals participate in the transmediale Award 2008, for which an international jury will award prizes totalling ca. 10 000 EUR. Abstracts and papers for a proposed Vilém Flusser Theory Award are also being invited.

As one of the leading international festivals for art and digital culture, transmediale presents and pursues the advancement of artistic positions reflecting on the socio-cultural, political and economic impact of new technologies. It seeks out artistic practices that not only respond to scientific or technical developments, but that try to shape the way in which we think about and experience the technologies which impact virtually all aspects of our daily lives. As such, transmediale understands media technologies as cultural techniques that need to be embraced in order to comprehend, critique, and shape global societies.

club transmediale (CTM) is a prominent international festival dedicated to contemporary electronic, digital and experimental music, as well a the diverse range of artistic activities in the context of sound and club culture. CTM presents projects that experiment with new aesthetic parameters and new forms of cooperation, develop possibilities for informational and economic self-determination, and reflect on the role of contemporary music against the backdrop of technological and social transformations. Now more than ever, music emerges as a laboratory for multiform experiments and as an active agent that allows for new cultural techniques to be tested and proffered to the wider world. CTM puts the focus on direct experience, risk-taking and personal interaction, and thereby emphasises the situational potential of live performance, the interplay of various media – sound and image, in particular – and candid exchange between sub-cultural and academic initiatives.

transmediale is a project of the Kulturprojekte Berlin in cooperation with Haus der Kulturen der Welt.transmediale is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. club transmediale is funded by Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
