The term ‘transcoding’ originates from the field of computers and more precisely from the conversion of one digital format to another. However, this terminology appears more and more in the cultural context as a new paradigm beyond common media theories. It addresses the issue of correspondence of signs where one medium operates within another.

Today we draw with algorithms, copy/paste in paintings, think in resolution and photograph or sculpt in 3D. All illustrate transcoding of two spheres – the artistic and the technological one. This isologic approach has been addressed in Fluxus and concept art by the term of intermedia and now emerges in form of transmedia. The exhibition explores the trans-lation/-coding of signs in between different forms of expression as a possible reading of actual artistic production.

The exhibition is realized with the support of
