*** Berlin's Long Night of the Museums ***
Saturday, 30 January, 18:00 - 02:00

Three days before the official opening, the Long Night of the Museums  
offers the opportunity to get a thorough, night-long taste of  
transmediale.10! At two Satellite institutions in Berlin-Mitte, the  
Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (.CHB) and the Instituto Cervantes, you  
can experience two outstanding artworks both nominated for the  
transmediale Award 2010.

The .CHB presents the technological composition project Coincidence  
Engines I and II by [The User], an artist duo from Canada. At the  
Instituto Cervantes visitors are greeted by a peculiar object  
emitting light and sound and which seems to have escaped a Science  
Fiction film: it is the audiovisual installation Chapter 1 - The  
Discovery by Spanish artist Felix Luque Sánchez.

In Kreuzberg two galleries offer exciting group exhibitions,  
screenings and lecture-performances:

In a one-hour long, moderated screening, the gallery ART CLAIMS  
IMPULSE presents a number of its central works. Artists with pieces  
shown include Maria Vedder, Henna-Riikka Halonen, Mihai Grecu,   
Julius von Bismarck,  Pierre Wolter and Michelle Handelman. Visitors  
of this programme can also see the multimedia installations featured  
in the current exhibition Reflective Interventions.

Galerie ZERO's new exhibition Hybrid Frequencies featuring works by  
Slovenian performance artist Marko Batista and experimental artist  
Prokop Bartonicek from the Czech Republic will open over the course  
of the Long Night. Here the visitors will encounter unforeseen noises  
and sleeping identities, which the artists seek to detect and  
liberate through a number of technologies. At 19:00 they will give  
the lecture-performance SIPHON:SYS:SONIC.
