Under the guidance of co-hosts Susie Ibarra and Stas Shärifulla, a group of selected participants will spend an intensive week exchanging and learning about aesthetic, discursive, and technological considerations and methodologies that can open up new ways of connecting to traditional ideas and sound worlds.

Application deadline: 15 October 2024.

The Research Networking Day invites graduate and post-graduate students as well as independent artists conducting self-guided research to submit proposals for short presentations traversing the fields of audio, arts, media, design, and related theoretical disciplines. This year proposals should address one of several themes reflected within CTM 2025 — »Affection«, »Resynthesising the Traditional«, or »Anarchy in the AI«. RND offers an international platform to exchange with various colleagues and researchers working on related ideas. This edition will take place in collaboration with the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), Freie Universität Berlin, and the Berlin-based network and project space Trust.
