In the search for DEEP NORTH, transmediale.09 seeks the paradoxical and global consequences, the re-orientation, shifting of perspectives and means to interact with the issues of cultural and technological development, innovation and creative sustainability lurking below the surface of climate change. DEEP NORTH becomes not a fixed location, but a paradigm transforming loss into a complex state of being and cultural development - an indicator of location becoming fused with global introspection. Within the specially-commissioned festival architecture by Berlin based art and architecture collective raumtaktik, the exhibition becomes part of DEEP NORTH's scenario of fleeting temporality, urgency and strategic sustainability.
