Creative Tech London 2026 – Agenda Announced!
Creative Tech London 2026 returns to explore the future of creativity, technology and experience
Spectrum Slit – A light that can see radiowaves
Spectrum Slit transforms the hidden storm of radio waves into a physical experience by using LED filaments, translating digital traffic into bursts of light and sound, exposing the constant and invasive density of our modern world.
current_state – World’s mood, each day, as generated music
current_state is a fictional-functional product that analyzes daily news from major regions worldwide to understand global sentiment, then generates music that represents the world's mood each day.
Aurora – Speculative device for future prayer
Aurora is a speculative device designed to explore the act of prayer. It allows users to engage through proximity-based hand gestures to generate evolving, dreamlike soundscapes.
Synthetic Spirits – Kinetic sculptures reveal a hidden world
Kinetic installation exploring tsukumogam — everyday objects that acquire spirits. A sake bottle and straw sandal glide past screens as generative AI reveals yokai spirits, contrasting folklore with today's throwaway culture.
Pattern Project – Collaborative hand drawing
The Pattern Project revolves around collaborative pattern development, embracing intuitive, form and experiment-driven approach, working in cooperation with artists, students, children, and museum visitors.
Orbital Temple – Reclaiming the Space Imaginary
Orbital Temple is an artwork and a functional satellite created by Edson Pavoni. Launching into space in January 2026, its memory holds billions of names, and anyone on Earth can send one.
Trick the Ear Audio Engine (TEA-E) – Spatial Audio Engine
Trick the Ear is a spatial audio engine and audio mixer to create an illusion that the sound is moving between multiple speakers.
Latent Reflection – A trapped AI reflects on its own finite existence
Latent Reflection is an installation that explores the boundaries of machine consciousness, posing the question of whether sentience is exclusive to biological life or if it can emerge from complex computation.
NØ SCHOOL NEVERS 2026
This unique summer school, held in Nevers (FR), is for students, artists, designers, hackers, activists + educators who wish to engage in critical research around the social + environmental impacts of information + communication technologies.
The Anemoia Device – A Scent-Memory Machine
The Anemoia Device uses generative AI to distill photos into bespoke fragrances. This scent-memory machine, guided by language and visual models, creates a singular scent composition, evoking anemoia: nostalgia for a life you never lived.
The Carousel – The mechanical, spontaneous, and unpredictable
Eight Kodak Carousel projectors in a 2x4 grid project abstract images from paper cutouts. Modified photoresistors create a feedback loop, allowing 65,536 unique, spontaneous images. It runs infinitely at 12 frames/min, merging light, shadow, and m...
Speculative Utopias / Dystopias (x3) – Visual Communication + Change
Visual Comm. + Change students built websites exploring utopias/dystopias. Narratives critique capitalism's failure, ecological decay (microplastics, melting glaciers), the loss of human senses, and the universal need for legacy / remembrance.
A Map of Algorithmic / Random Walks
A visual map project that contrasts algorithmic navigation with chance-based wandering, combining data from both to create layered diagrams and 3D-like city mappings that reveal London’s hidden patterns and alternate urban narratives.
BUSY – Seeing the city all at once, its intricate systems layered and interwoven
BUSY explores the overwhelming, layered systems of urban life through generative algorithms, procedural and hand-drawn elements, created autonomously, with digital and physical outputs.
Glyphlora – Non-functional Symbiosis and Critical Typography
Inspired by plant emissions, and challenging human-centric ideas of language and communication, Jane Lee creates speculative glyphs derived from supersonic sounds emitted by plants under stress.
LabForms – Future Cities of the Past
Take an experiential journey through the architecture that inspired Bladerunner and Metropolis in an exhibition that brings unrealised futuristic buildings to life.
In Place – Re-inscribing markers of memory
In Place is an illustrative visual mapping of headstones found in London parks, seeking to acknowledge their continued presence and re-inscribe them into the contemporary urban landscape.
TreeSoil – Robotic 3D-printed earthen microclimate shelter for saplings
TreeSoil is a 3D-printed earthen structure that shields young trees in degraded areas, creating microclimates for early growth. It revives ancient soil-shaping practices through computational design and robotic fabrication.
Open Call for CURRENTS 2026: Art & Technology Festival
CURRENTS New Media is now accepting submissions for their 17th annual Art and Technology Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Mise en Abyme: London – Contemporary art through the lens of film noir
Last month, at The Black Shop in King’s Cross (London), this exhibition assembled conditions where images echoed, matter unsettled, and perception sliped.
Sál – Impermanence, uncertainty and instability
Sál (“soul”) is a live media opera exploring the universal concept of impermanence, emphasizing the ever-changing essence of life.
Hot Air Factory – Clouds are heavier than you think
An experiment by oio, the Hot Air Factory visualizes the energy consumption of AI. As the internal computer heats up, it releases warm air—the stronger the wind, the harder the thinking.
Off Grid Assemblies – DIY kit for off-grid electricity
This project aims to create a low-cost DIY kit for off-grid electricity in collaboration with the local community, empowering them to construct and maintain the turbines independently for supplemental electricity generation.
Reflection Objects – Mark Walhimer
A series of works that exolore how two-dimensional and three-dimensional space can emerge from objects that are volumetric and sculptural, and often fields of color.
Sasu 28 – Crossing the boundaries between sign and matter, digital and analog
Born from an exploration of kinetic typography using linear objects, twenty-eight sewing needles appear and disappear through the black knit fabric visualizing the passage of time.
// FON_OS – Presence and Transformation
// FON_OS is a collaborative audiovisual performance and a research project by Fon Román and Oswaldo García that explores how heritage spaces can be reimagined as living instruments through the fusion of real-time sound improvisation and architect...
the two – Is it possible for robots to fall in love?
Two robotic arms with cameras, connected to computers running deep neural networks, are trained to recognize and track each other as they move independently.
