face value
<p>The transmediale journal has been published regularly online since 2015. This is the first print edition, published on the occasion of transmediale 2018 <em>face value</em>. It gathers new approaches to understanding value beyond surface-level claims. When blatant hypocrisy has become the norm in much of public life, truth and lie are bound together as the flip sides of the same coin—a coin that has become a fetish. Flipping the coin will never help explain the nature of its value, but will only continue to show its faces, its surfaces. These texts are attempts to melt it down: to alchemically transmute it in order to find, or create, something worth more.</p>
