Open Call for MANIFEST:IO 2025

MANIFEST:IO returns for its third edition, a dynamic two-day symposium organized by TimeLab, exploring the intersection of new media, electronic arts, and critical discourse. Taking place in Berlin, the event unites artists, media researchers, and creative professionals to challenge norms, provoke dialogue, and push boundaries on the most urgent global issues.

This year we confront the theme of Fragmenting Places, Imagined Spaces. We invite submissions that reflect on space as multimodal, between the real and the imagined. Submissions are invited to reflect on the dissolution, transformation, and occupation of spaces—whether through the gradual creep of gentrification, the sudden violence of demolition, the subtle decay of forgotten landscapes, and the radical imagination of new spaces. The call delves into the socio-political and ecological questions surrounding erasure, fragmentation, and the battle for belonging in a world where places are increasingly contested and lost.

Deadline: December 15, 2024.
