Call for participation, research workshop 2026/2027: Interstices: Research (in) the gaps

In resonance with transmediale's 2027 theme groundstates & fragile currents focusing on "the subterranean currents of imagination that build collective stories, rabbit holes, and speculations of the communities populating semi-shadowed worlds" we explore interstitial spaces. Our workshop "Interstices: Research (in) the gap" seeks to engage with the necessary in-betweeness of structures, and the practices and communities that inhabit such gaps. We engage with the empty spaces of social, cultural and computational structures and will explore methods, tools, and critical approaches delving in "dark forests".

The workshop invites proposals that research through the gaps structural, ontological, material, and social gaps, and interventions and speculations that expand them. The workshop is specifically targeted toward PhD/early career researchers, and welcomes submission from researchers inside/outside the academy, including artists, designers, and curators.
