Six Weeks, Infinite Loops

A pressure-cooker for ideas that refuse to stay still.

The Offer 
(but not the brochure kind)

We give you a lockable studio pod, a badge that opens the door at 03:17 a.m., and a small budget that disappears faster than you planned. In return, you let us watch the thing grow—every misfire, every sudden left turn—until it’s ready to breathe in public.

You’ll have a curator in your corner and an engineer on speed-dial; neither will finish the work for you, but they’ll nudge when the code stalls or the concept gets shy. Friday crits are part therapy, part friendly cross-examination. Coffee is bottomless; praise is not.

24 / 7 access

Midnight projection tests are encouraged; the neighbours are data servers.

01

£1500 materials grant

Blow it on lidar, filament, or renting that one absurd lens.

02

Shared sensor rack

XR rigs, EEG, thermal cams—first-come, first-wired.

03

Pop-up showcase

One evening in week six the doors open and the public walks straight into your head.

A note on who “qualifies”

If you can describe the work only by showing a half-broken prototype, we’re listening. Solo, duo, collective—doesn’t matter. Degree or no degree. The only hard rule: the piece must lean on technology in a way that’s impossible to fake on paper.
