ONX Seeds 2026: Soft Circuits for Hard Times

About this call

ONX Seeds 2026 invites emerging creators, artists, and teams working with new media, digital culture, and hybrid forms of storytelling to develop functional prototypes that move between the analog and the digital. Under the theme Soft Circuits for Hard Times, proposals may take the form of interactive installations, moving-image works, immersive experiences, new media performances, playable worlds, or speculative design objects. Over a four-month development program, up to four projects receive seed funding of up to EUR 5,000, mentorship, and technical support; Athens-based teams work in the ONX Studio in person and others take part online. Selected prototypes are presented at the ONX Exhibition in Athens in March 2027.
