n-Space Fellowship

n-Space Fellowship

The n-Space fellowships form the first initiative to come from n-Space, Somerset House Studios new dedicated space for interdisciplinary experimentation across art and technology, in partnership with UAL’s Creative Computing Institute, Goldsmiths Computing and Abandon Normal Devices in collaboration with the School of Digital Arts (SODA) at Manchester Metropolitan University. Artists Sarah Friend, Studios resident Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, and Studios alumni Rashaad Newsome will each collaborate with the Studios on the first fellowship design.

The 2025 fellowship cohort are confirmed as Adnan Naqvi, Agnes Cameron, dmstfctn, Ed Fornieles, Hannah Cobb and Leela Jadhav.

This first n-Space fellowship explores the question of governance in human and more-than-human collaboration, as a prompt for both how participants might focus their time on the programme, and how they might contribute to shaping and driving its direction and outcomes. Over an 18-month period, fellows will build upon their existing research interests, working towards the development of interdisciplinary methods, interventions, and insights that expand how we might organise, intervene, and imagine possible futures in art, technology, and society.

In the first phase of the programme, fellows will participate in collaborative, knowledge exchange workshops and experimental design methods, led by UAL’s Creative Computing Institute. The second phase, led by Somerset House Studios, introduces artist-led provocations aimed at broadening and challenging the research interests of the group, designed by artist leads Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Dr Rashaad Newsome and Sarah Friend. Goldsmiths Computing will contribute through network mapping and creating the foundations of an iterative archive, while Abandon Normal Devices in collaboration with the School of Digital Arts (SODA) will provide a platform in the North of England.

A public programme will run from April 2026 onwards, connecting the emergent themes and research with audiences, building towards a final showcase taking place in March 2027.
