> SPEKTRUM is a space of convergence for cultural communities and

> science-focused events and futuristic utopias based on the principle
> “do-it-together-with-others”. Above all, we are an open space promoting
> participatory processes to co-define and co-design a social and physical
> playground for curiosity and critical understanding.

> About reSource
> The 'reSource transmedial culture berlin' is a programme of the

> throughout the year in the city of Berlin. Activities include
> residencies, curated and partner events as well as a research and
> dialogue with institutions, independent spaces as well as individual
> actors in digital culture. The reSource network is an informal offshoot
> of the reSource programme and takes form as an online discussion through
> the reSource mailing list, physical meetings and an input to the yearly
> transmediale and ctm pre-festival programme.
