"TH1NKBLENDER: Speculating Spaces for Future Transdisciplinary Practices and the Spontaneous Encounters of Transdisciplinary Minds" is a practice-based exploration of artscience research and collaborations, to inform and initiate future spaces for organic transdisciplinary expression. It explores the relationships between artistic, scientific, and technological innovations as they converge and coexist within the physical and extraterrestrial worlds, and purports to answer the question of if/when the categorization of disciplines becomes irrelevant at their boundaries and intersections. The research investigates past and present cross/multi/interdisciplinary work and platforms, accompanied by expert interviews and personal experiences, to propose speculative spaces—encompassed in an organic transdisciplinary platform—for a future of progressive transdisciplinary practices and more mutually symbiotic collaborations.
