With its distinctive cultural and historical attributes the city of Berlin significantly coins the interplay between science, art and technology and thereby just the sort of nervous, high-tension field in which media can (probably most likely) be localized. In a first draft the Atlas of MediaThinking and MediaActing in Berlin presents the attempt to uncover these diverse origins and developments and to provide an an-archaeological perspective not only on the ways in which, since the late 1940s, media have been theorized here, but also on how they have been artistically, socio-culturally and technically negotiated. The title of the project is meant to be understood programmatically: the decision for the terms Thinking and Acting (as opposed to media science/studies and media art) opens the discussion for positions that have often been ignored in the academic discourse. It aims to genealogically trace out the lines of development along which a constructive engagement with media has been able to unfold.
