Werkleitz opens the festival center in the former printing and publishing workshop and offices at Leipziger Str. 61–62.The historical group of Jugendstil buildings was contructed in 1911 as the headquarters of the Hallesche Zeitung in a prominent location on Riebeckplatz. In 1946 the space was given to the newspaper Neuer Weg, the party organ of the East German section of the Christian Democratic Union. The daily newspaper ceased publication and since 1992 the machine rooms and publishing offices – striking remnants of the media industry’s first golden age – have stood empty.

20 Years of EMARE
EMARE is celebrating its 20th anniversary at .move ON. The European Media Artists in Residence Exchange (EMARE) was initiated by Werkleitz and has been supporting media artists and fostering international exchange since 1995. EMARE is administered by the European Media Art Network (EMAN). With ten host countries across three continents, EMAN is one of the largest network for media art production worldwide. EMARE has provided over 150 grants. Works by participating artists have been represented at festivals and in exhibitions such as the Ars Electronica, transmediale and the Venice Biennale.
Standing members of EMAN include Impakt (NL), Bandits-Mages (FR), FACT (GB) and Werkleitz (DE). Starting with programmes within Europe EMAN expanded to include co-operations with Mexican media art institutions. The works presented at .move ON result from the grant programme European Media Artists in Residence Exchange (EMARE) 2014/15 in cooperation with Goethe-Institut and in exchange with partners in Australia and Canada. Associated partner at EMARE is transmediale Berlin.
