Situated Research 23-24

Grants to develop research projects for 12 months within the framework of the themes proposed by Medialab, and in dialogue with the communities linked to it.

Medialab calls for three research projects that develop, during a maximum period of one year, a research project within the framework of the themes proposed by the Medialab curatorial manager, and in dialogue with the activities of Medialab's annual program and the communities linked to it.

Medialab is a space for innovation and research that welcomes projects that are too exceptional to fit into the strict lines of academic research, often incapable of bringing together and intertwining diverse disciplines or intermediate positions between thought and practice. Medialab's mission is to fill this institutional void as far as possible, welcoming and promoting ideas and projects that, despite their brilliance and transformative capacity, do not find their place in the more disciplinary public programs.
