At last, hacklab returns to in-person gathering with an incredible all-Berlin (and so very transglobal) participant roster. Sunday evening 17:00 in Bethanien. Still some presale available / tix on the door (or CTM pass).

There's a new site! And... yeah, there's the hacklab in the mock-up! Stay tuned, we're part of 2021, but details to be determined and announced shortly.

We're excited to reveal our new website!

This soft launch contains only core information about CTM and our upcoming CTM Festival 2021 – Transformation edition. In the coming months we will gradually be adding more sections and content, including many essays and articles previously printed in our yearly CTM magazine.

A big thanks goes out to Ian Warner from State for the design, and to the collaborative programming team of Stefan Schreck, Tim Lochmüller, and e-fork.

We hope you enjoy the new style!

From Jogyakarta to Manila to Berlin, media artist Tad Ermitano contemplates hacklabs and Filipino creative space on his way to ... rather colder Europe. Thanks so much, Tad!

Makery met with Tad Ermitaño, a key figure in new media art in the Philippines and South East Asia, to discuss his experience at MusicMakers Hacklab, CTM's week-long open and collaborarive laboratory.

The 2018 hacklab hosted by Ioann Maria + Peter Kirn is featured in a new FACT video, as Venus ex Machina shows the performance piece her team created at CTM (plus alumnus Vicky Clarke is featured,too!)

Also, for more Berlin action, note the KOMA Elektronik Field Kit! Yes, UK and Germany are connected!

Join us in Berlin - application deadline is approaching for the latest MusicMakers hacklab.

In Manila, spotted: a karaoke machine, a dog-nosed gimp mask, face paint, projection, traditional Filipino instruments... it's definitely an open call that may fit people who don't normally fit open calls. ;) If you think you won't fit in, we hope you'll apply!

The submission deadline of the MusicMakers Hacklab: Shapeshifters is slowly approaching!

This year at CTM Festival 2020 – Liminal, the Hacklab is running from 27.01 - 02.02.2020 at radialsystem. Focusing on how performance practice and invention can change the performer—making them someone or something else, making them newly visible, or making them entirely invisible. We challenge our participants to engage in collaborations that remake one another’s onstage roles.

Submission deadline is 01.11.2019.

The CTM 2020 MusicMakers Hacklab: Shapeshifters is hosted and facilitated by Tad Ermitano and Peter Kirn (CDM). Supported by the Senate Department of Culture and Europe; the Nusasonic initiative by WSK Festival of The Recently Possible, YES NO KLUB, Playfreely and Goethe-Institut Indonesien; and SHAPE platform. 📸: MusicMakers Hacklab Opening, Leslie Garcia "Action Potential" by Stefanie Kulisch
