Somerset House Studios n-Space

Somerset House Studios announces the launch of n-Space in October 2025, its new initiative for interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists, technologists, academics, and industry professionals.

In collaboration with key academic and cultural partners, n-Space will be an evolving workspace and network, supporting a diverse range of practitioners and collaborations, focused on process, creative inquiry and outcomes that don’t fit within traditional institutional platforms. 

The first n-Space project will be a series of funded fellowships for an interdisciplinary cohort of six practitioners, invited and selected by the partners for this initial pilot programme. n-Space’s first fellows will include: audio investigator and researcher Adnan Naqvi; computing specialist technician and lecturer Agnes Cameron; artist duo dmstfctn; artist Ed Fornieles; post-disciplinarian Hannah Cobb and researcher Leela Jadhav.

This inaugural 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 archive, while Abandon Normal Devices x SODA will provide a platform in the North of England.

The initial three-year pilot programme of fellowships will launch in October with the support of the Rothschild Foundation, and in partnership with UAL’s Creative Computing Institute and Goldsmiths Computing.
