The 90mil Radio network marks two years of transmissions this September at the second edition of Pollen, a day-into-night multidisciplinary festival with over 50 contributing international artists presenting in forms including live electronics and performance, sound and intermedia arts, audiovisual installations, deep listening sessions, curated dancefloors, and cinema. This year’s programme also features The NODE Institute, Spatial Media Lab, Berlin Modular Society, Kollage Kollektiv, Cloud Chambers, and Burre–fellow collectives and arts organisations invited to curate facets of the programme alongside the 90mil Radio community. The daytime programme begins in the early afternoon with deep listening and live ambient sessions, complemented by workshops and spaces for discourse and decompression. Toward the evening, the venue will bloom with live music performances, multimodal and audiovisual works, screenings, and electronic arts of all forms across six spaces–by midnight, expect masterful live electronic music crafted with analog synthesizers and far-reaching, artful selections from our community of contributors into the early hours. Together, we can experience forms of connection, resonance, reflection and creation that wouldn’t be possible alone. This year’s Pollen offers over twelve hours of simultaneous cultural programming across six spaces, highlighting the diversity of Berlin’s avant-art communities and the complex and vibrant cultural ecosystem we inhabit. This event is taking place at 90mil, a non-profit, DIY space near Jannowitzbrücke, Berlin. Entrance is via suggested donation at the door only. You must be a member to enter. You can become a guest member at the door for a fee of €5. Your membership is valid for a year. ⨇ About Pollen & 90mil Radio: Pollen takes form as a multivalent exhibition showcasing the independent media arts community of Berlin, facilitated by a network node through which this constellation of creative microcosms intersects: 90mil Radio, a non-profit, independent internet radio broadcasting a programme of underrepresented, experimental and emergent sound formats from a station located near Jannowitzbrücke since June 2024. This independent model allows the platform to foster creative work beyond the normative realm of Berlin’s cultural ecology, but in order to continue without public funding, the platform extends focus to alternative and collaborative ideas in order to ensure a collective ability to thrive in a challenging set of current economic and cultural circumstances for the arts in Berlin. The 90mil Radio community invites all to our anniversary and fundraising festival, so that we may continue transmitting and facilitating independent arts into the future. ⨇ 2026 Programme: ///// 90mil Radio Network /// Live Performances Flur Mathilde Nobel ..o x Oman Sounds x Nilgün Özer TÍTA Ewa Sad Panalog Lato Gato Max Volume Quantum Jollies 3rd Party Influence Klett Wandel Pajamas Bernhard Hollinger Federico Torres & Sebastian Carrizosa Mondo Morricone Dream Syndicat /// DJs ШЩЦ SŕnaK jahiht Reinartz Karim Khelil VictorDiscos /// Installations Emilia Gentis Visceral Chaos Aleksandra Mitrovic Blue Room Dubstation /// Art Cinema Vinco Zone Forrest McCulder Garreth Stack Madison Weinhoffer ///// Collectives & Organisations /// The NODE Institute The NODE Institute hosts the 37th edition of TouchDesigner Roundtable Berlin — its recurring gathering for the visual programming and creative coding community.
