Get ready, get set, go...to Berlin. Next week, the international media art festival known as transmediale will take place for the 15th time from February 5th to the 10th. The good stuff offered up includes interactive installations, a media lounge with internet and screen-based works, a conference devoted to changes in the public sphere in the digital era, workshops on collaborative and free software projects, screenings with the latest works of video art, and of course more. This year's theme is a bit outdated: it's "go public!" as in an IPO, but you can interpret it as "be open with your great ideas!" Be sure to log onto the festival's web site if you can't hop on a plane or train to Germany...'cause you can vote for the best art on view at transmediale from afar.
