The program consists of four off-site semesters, three summer residencies in Austria; and two winter residencies in the US and Europe. It is intended to lift the boundaries between applied and fine arts, traditional and new media, artists and scholars. The innovative program focusses on content and context. Students are free to pursue work in any media art-related genre and to create their own course of study and to work in the genre(s) which best communicate their ideas including animation, architecture, curating, cyberart, digital and experimental media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality.

BERLIN EXHIBITION OPENING, ARTIST TALKS, OPEN HOUSE, WORKSHOP
Transartists will converge at the New Life Gallery in Berlin and the Chelsea Gallery Space in New York for a residency which will culminate in the "(New Life) Trajectories" Project with an exhibition of Transartists curated by Sixten Kai Nielsen and Martin Rosengaard; "Maps & Directions" - an artistic development workshop; "The Map is not the Territory" - three short artist talks; open house and receptions in both locations.
Every winter, trajectories intersect at residencies for contemporary art groups and
members of the Transart Institute. New collaborations form in which an international
group of artists, curators, and theorists make art, exhibit and perform, try new things, get fresh views, and dip into current discourse. This year Transartists visit Wooloo Productions in Berlin, established to represent, describe and investigate contemporary Nomadism and related topics and practices. Wooloo's curators present exhibitions which "vitalize our globalized present". The New Life Shop gallery forms part of their on-going project New Life Movement - an initiative founded to platform artistic modes which transcend national borders and identities.
