I went to Berlin for Transmediale 2023, as I have been watching lectures from the conference for a long time. It was really interesting to me that they embraced the fluidity between performance, lecture and screening and this, combined with the Site Writing module made me more experimental with my own work. It was amazing to see that academic outputs can still be engaging and really just cool. It was here that I had the chance to talk to McKenzie Wark and Farzin Lotfi-Jam, who are both working in the same field as I am.
