The Ludic Interface Research Group (L.I.R.G.) cordially invites everyone at transmediale 2012 to partake in a contemporary version of the surrealist game Le Cadavre Exquis. In the course of this event, different projects from the reSource for transmedial culture initiative – which is aimed at facilitating collaboration at the intersection of art, technology, hacktivism and politics – will be brought into a playful dialogue with each other through aleatoric, agonal and just plainly ludicrous methods. In the process, the in/compatibilities of everyone in the room as well as their undead-unconscious "lamella" (Žižek) will be sounded out. This Ludic Salon will lead into the official launch of the reSource initiative, which will spread the transmediale across the entire calendar year.
