Read below for some insightful reflections on transmediale 2026 by Will Allstetter ๐
โบ hypebeast.com/2026/2/trans...
Black and white photo taken in a gallery space with plain white walls and floor. A man sits wide-legged on a small white stool. He wears a white one-piece jumpsuit, black socks and black shoes. Large black over-ear headphones with a coiled cable run down to a PC 286 desktop computer with a monochrome black-and-white CRT monitor placed between his feet. On the screen appears a bold logo PRSI and the text OKITENE Z VENCI VRTNIC. On the computer case is a sticker with PRSI. On his chest badge reads INTIMA and below it Igor ล tromajer. He looks directly at the camera with a serious expression, hands clasped.
Color outdoor photo from winter in Berlin. A man stands on a metal base next to a tall white vertical banner that reads "transmediale 99" in brown letters and "internationales medienkunstfestival berlin", with a yellow graphic at the top and a brown arrow pointing right at the bottom. He wears a long black coat, black gloves, black shoes and a gray hat. Behind him are leafless trees, a large historic building with a red roof, a parked white van, and a street sign reading 30 ZONE.
Sorry for the vulgarity. In the first photo, that's me in 1995 in Ljubljana.
In the second, I'm in front of Podewil in Berlin in February 1999 at @transmediale.bsky.social 99, where I performed my Oppera Teorettikka Internettikka.
