To the tables, ready, go! You can now enter your application for our artist alley. ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝ Half a table, full table, double table, you got the choice. Just make sure your table is full of comics. Not from Berlin? No problem, you're invited as well! Deadline 26 February!

The OPEN CALL 2026 is aimed at individuals and teams from the fields of visual arts, music, literature, performing arts, design, photography and video art. It addresses the independent scene as well as small enterprises of the creative industry in Berlin. We are looking for a strong artistic concept that innovatively combines AI and XR in an interactive cultural project. This synthesis could be, for example, the use of AI as an artistic subject, as an agent (e.g. as an avatar) or as a tool in XR. From all submissions, our expert jury will select one concept to be co-developed at HTW Berlin as part of an Artistic Fellowship starting in May 2026.
