Information
The Retune Festival transforms a school building from the past into a playground of the futures. The space will be turned into experimental design studios, workshops, lecture halls, and offline chatrooms.
Exhibitions, talks, and workshops are clustered around four main themes:
Immersed Narratives – Exploring the opportunities of storytelling in virtual reality.
Neuronal Creation – Expanding creative expression with Artificial Intelligence.
Networked Transplantations - Extending bodies and senses.
Creative Production - Investigating how creatives get from prototypes to products.

Information
As increasing parts of our lives are influenced and ruled by technology, its relationship towards humans, society and culture needs to be renegotiated.
From 26. - 28. September 2014 the retune conference brings together for the third time artists, designers, technologists as well as researchers and scientists to inspire interdisciplinary thinking and making. This annual gathering of international creative minds seeks to explore, shape, and critically question the future of living, working, and expressing with technology.
Within a three days conference international thinkers and practitioners will give inspirational talks and key note speeches; participants will gain further practical experiences in workshops and have the chance to discuss and connect with like-minded creatives from various interdisciplinary fields.

Information
Designers, artists, hackers, architects and engineers all are connected through the world wide web. They share knowledge about materials, tools and code in online communities. They document projects online and inspire others to remix and DIY. Digital production technologies which a few years ago used to be exclusive to industrial users, nowadays are accessible to everyone. New financing models facilitate the implementation of projects without the help of investors and banks.
All of these developments spark off a new, creative culture of innovation. Retune brings together a heterogenous group of people and presents examples as to how passionate experimenting, breaking up old paradigms and open-mindedness can change the world. The event location right in the middle of Berlin Kreuzberg links the conference with one of the hotspots of this innovative movement.
Presentations and workshops will provide basic and expertise knowledge: which production technique is best for which material? How do developers organise their work most efficiently? How do you turn LEDs into clothing? How to programme a micro controller? How to make medical instruments from very simple materials? Insiders explain intriguing projects from concept to implementation. Musicians meet up for an open source music night and will perfom with their self-made instruments. Designers and artists present their interactive installations.
