The New Networked Normal (NNN) is a new European partnership and programme collaboration between five leading arts organisations from across Europe – Abandon Normal Devices (UK), Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, The Influencers (Spain), Transmediale (Germany) and STRP (Netherlands). Together we invite artists, agencies and citizens to feel inspired and empowered to debate and engage with contemporary and critical culture.
In February 2018, we launched nnn.freeport.global, an alternative space for the distribution of artworks, alongside a programme of activity at transmediale festival, Berlin, 31 Jan – 04 Feb 2018, HKW. Over the festival days artworks were unpacked in physical spaces and nnn.freeport.global will host underlying research, contextual and reference material.
Alongside nnn.freeport.global and the physical exhibition Territories of Complicity, transmediale hosted a series of events as part of The New Networked Normal programme:
