***premium connection to the touch of the screens and surfaces ***
In an intimate spectacle, moderated by performance artist Georges Jacotey (Athens, GR), international internet and new media artists will present their works. Online. Live. Screened.
The Live- Online-Show plays with forms of presence and blurs the boundaries of digitality and physical presence to enable other forms of a present. In the second season of the Live- Online- Show, the issue of intimacy will experiment with artistic strategies of closeness, privacy and intensity, and questions about possible relationships are presented in the context of a post-digital society.
The second season of the live online show Gleam #02: Intimacy, a preview of the dgtl fmnsm Festival 2018 will be curated by Shawné Michaelain Holloway (US) and Georges Jacotey (GR)

dgtl fmnsm- concept and impementation: Thomas Dumke / Ulla Heinrich / Konstanze Schütze
dgtl fmnsm is a future request for a more radical thinking of the implicitness of digital technologies in the media-culturally shaped present. dgtl fmnsm acts as a sensual interference and interruption of prevailing technical discourses and dominant narratives. Aesthetically and theoretically active people are involved in various interventions, making significant use of their bodies as a means of expression in the context of an elusive presence between digital technologies, network cultures and political necessity.
