TELEAGRICULTURE HACKATHON / OPEN STUDIO TALK

TELEAGRICULTURE HACKATHON / OPEN STUDIO TALK WITH SEBASTIAN FRISCH 

A two-day hackathon for media artists, experimental designers, coders, and critical makers at the intersections of signals, ecologies, and speculative practices.
 

Monday, June 8, 2026 – Tuesday, June 9
Location: gold extra Studio

2 days, each day from 10am to 5.30pm
 

Open Studio Talk, 
Tuesday, June 9, 7.30pm

Over the course of two days, you’ll have the chance to tinker with exciting interfaces alongside Sebastian Frisch from the V2_Open Lab in Rotterdam: Synthetic Natures and Sensorial Futures is a practice-oriented hackathon that explores how environmental sensing and creative computation can generate new forms of ecological awareness. Using TeleAgriCulture kits, participants will develop new ways to collect, simulate, and make ecological data tangible.

The focus is on working directly with live data, mesh networks, and local sensing infrastructures. Instead of abstract models, speculative interfaces, visualizations, and installations emerge that explore alternative approaches to environmental systems and their societal impacts.

This is not about making systems more efficient. It is about questioning them. What stories do environmental data tell—and which ones do they leave out? Through speculative interfaces, installations, and collective reflection, we seek other ways to interpret and shape ecologies.

The event brings together media artists, designers, and technologists to rapidly develop prototypes and provide critical responses.
 

Tuesday June 9, 7.30pm
Open Studio Talk with Sebastian Frisch

In our talk we will present the freshly developed and designed prototype ideas as well as the initiative as a whole. Terraforming included. Have fun. 

We look forward to seeing you!

Registration:: The hackathon has 8 spots.

Participation is open to media artists, designers, coders, and makers interested in environmental sensor technology, speculative design, or critical data practices.
