We are happy to announce that our long-term collaboration with transmediale art and digital culture festival continues. Resonating closely with their 2025 theme (near) near but — far that focuses on "how algorithms place us in weird proximities and new intimacies with one another and the qualities of closeness we lose by way of their machine-driven actions."
The newspaper version of Content/Form was presented and launched at transmediale in Feb 2024, at Haus Der Kulteren Der Welt, Berlin, and can be downloaded HERE. The upcoming issue of APRJA will be published summer 2024.
Relating to transmediale's 2024 festival theme, the annual Research Workshop in collaboration between Aarhus University, London South Bank University, and transmediale festival (Berlin) is now hosting an open call for workshop participants for its next edition content/form – in particular, individuals who are interested in exploring our relation to content and the forms through which it is made public. The workshop is specifically targeted toward PhD and early career researchers, but also welcomes submissions from researchers from inside or outside the academy, including artists, designers, and curators. It will result in a presentation (launch or collaborative newspaper publication) at Haus der Kulturen der Welt as a part of transmediale 2024 you're doing amazing sweetie.

The upcoming edition of transmediale explores “how technological scale sets conditions for relations, feelings, democratic processes, and infrastructures.” (https://2023.transmediale.de/). At this workshop, we welcome proposals that in different ways question the universal ideals of technology and its problems of scale; including big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, blockchain mining, and how they relate to the global organisation of labour, extractions of natural resources, exploitation, energy consumption, and more.
We are seeking proposals to address how research is made public, and in this sense also to the infrastructures of research and its various systems of publishing. Organised by Digital Aesthetics Research Center, Aarhus University, in collaboration with Centre for the Study of the Networked Image, London South Bank University, École de recherche graphique, Brussels, and transmediale festival for digital art & culture, Berlin. Deadline for submissions: Nov 14th.
