Deadline Call title
01 Sep 2026 CFP: MULTISENSORY XR: From ‘Tech for Good’ to Ethical Immersive Experience

6-7 Jan 2027 Centre for the Ecologies of Attention and Perception, King’s College London, London, UK

We invite 20-minute papers and project-led presentations from across the arts, humanities, social sciences, design, creative practice, health sciences, computing and industry research. Submissions may address artistic work, design processes, social and cultural analysis, education, healthcare, accessibility, platform politics or emerging forms of multisensory interaction. We are particularly interested in work that challenges ocularcentrism, questions established ideas of immersion or proposes alternatives to proprietary platform models. The key goal of the conference is to explore XR that not only works but that works for diverse users and in different configurations of sensory experience. In other words, we want to showcase XR that not only succeeds technically and artistically but also delivers ethical and social value.

27 Sep 2026 Situated Research Residences 2027 - Medialab Matadero

Medialab Matadero presents the fifth edition of its annual Situated Research Residency program.

Through this open call, Medialab will select 3 research and creation projects capable of exploring the relationships between contemporary art, design, science, technology, and society, with a critical, experimental approach open to collaboration.

We are looking for proposals that sit at the margins or intersections of disciplines, methodologies, and ‘knowledges’. Inspired by the principle of learning by doing, the residency aims to foster new ways of researching, prototyping, documenting, sharing knowledge, or mobilizing communities around relevant issues.

Submitted projects must connect explicitly and coherently with one or more of the themes from Medialab Matadero’s recent programs: LAB 1 Medios Sintientes, LAB 2 The Metabolic Sublime, LAB 3 Synthetic Minds, LAB 4 Weird Futures, and LAB 5 The Mechanics of Truth.

The residency will run from January to July 2027 and carries a stipend of €10,000 (before tax).
