The PhD workshop Research Networks was organized by transmediale, Aarhus University, Global Emergent Media (GEM) Lab, Montréal and CSNI, London South Bank University at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin (29-30 Jan 2020) as part of transmediale 2020 End to End which aimed to deal with the pervasiveness of networks and their limits. By drawing on the legacies of critical and autonomous network cultures, contributions discuss whether there a conceivable counter-power to networks? Which alternative technological models and cultural narratives are needed to construct the principles of end-to-end communication anew? How might the critique of networks extend to non-western contexts and reflect the limits in a global canonical perspective?
