 OPEN CALL


Calling all artists, digital creators, and visionaries — the future needs your imagination!  

 

The central theme and title for the 2026 edition of the ON SCREEN festival is “RE.SINGULARITY — A Manifesto for the Post‑Linear Era.” This call invites artists to explore a world where linearity has collapsed and reality unfolds through folds, simultaneities, and continuous re‑creation.

Re.Singularity challenges artists to rethink the foundations of existence: time, space, essence, creation, and the human condition. It asks how video art, digital media, and AI‑driven practices can reveal a reality where origins are permanent, futures are multiple, and the self becomes a spectrum.

We seek bold, experimental works that inhabit this post‑linear landscape — works that bend time, fracture narrative, expand perception, and explore the co‑evolution between human and non‑human intelligences. This edition of ON SCREEN is not merely an exhibition: it is a portal, a field of simultaneities, a space where creation becomes quantum and the world re‑originates in every frame.

Artists are invited to submit video art, animation, digital performance, new media, and AI‑generated visions that resonate with the conceptual force of Re.Singularity and its invitation to imagine, create, and become anew.

RE.SINGULARITY
A Manifesto for the Post-Linear Era

We live in a time when certainties have become fragile and the structures that once sustained our understanding of the world dissolve like lines of sand under an accelerated tide. It is not only that technology advances: reality itself seems to have entered a state of vibration — an ontological tremor that reshapes what we understand as time, space, human identity, creation, and meaning.


For decades, the idea of “the Singularity” — that hypothetical point at which artificial intelligence would surpass human intelligence — functioned as a futuristic horizon, a promise or a threat projected toward a distant tomorrow. But that tomorrow is no longer ahead of us: it is above, below, within, around. It is not a point in the future but an atmosphere we breathe. The Singularity has ceased to be a destination and has become a climate.


Yet what we are living today is not the classical Singularity. It is something more complex, more unstable, more profound. It is a process of re singularization: a continuous cycle of collapses and emergences, of re origins and re configurations. A state in which multiple singularities — technological, social, political, spiritual, cosmological — overlap and reactivate simultaneously.


We call this phenomenon Re.Singularity.


Modernity was built on a promise: history advances. It advances toward progress, toward reason, toward stability, toward a better future. But that narrative has broken.


Today we live in a time where:


•    the past returns as narrative specters
•    the present multiplies across screens and flows
•    the future fragments into contradictory scenarios


Linearity no longer organizes experience. The Post-Linear Era is a territory where time folds, overlaps, accelerates, and halts all at once. The Post-Linear Era is not only the end of linear temporality; it is the end of all linearities: those of thought, of space, of essence, of creation, and of history. We inhabit a world where simultaneity replaces sequence, where the fractal replaces the solid, where the possible replaces the real.


Re.Singularity is not a theoretical concept: it is an existential condition. It is the name of the tremor we feel when reality becomes too fast to narrate, too complex to fit into inherited categories, too multiple to be reduced to a single story.


This manifesto does not seek to offer definitive answers. It seeks to offer a framework for thinking, feeling, and orienting oneself in a world that can no longer be read in straight lines — a world where creation is continuous, where intelligence is distributed, where origin is permanent, where the future is not ahead but all around.


The "Post-Linear Era" has already begun. Re.Singularity is its grammar. And this text is an invitation to inhabit it. 

 

M A N I F E S TO


1. Linearity has ended.
The world no longer advances: it re folds, re bends, re invents itself. History ceases to be a sequence and becomes a field of simultaneities.


2. The Singularity is no longer a point.
It is a continuous state of transformation — a pulse moving through systems, bodies, technologies, and cultures.


3. Origin is not behind us.
Origin is a permanent process — a creation reactivated in every collapse and every emergence.


4. Intelligence decentralizes.
It no longer belongs to the human. It is distributed across biological, digital, collective, and emergent minds.


5. Creation becomes quantum.
AI generates worlds that are full and empty at once — worlds that exist as potential, as simulation, as possibility.


6. The Human becomes fractal.
We are multiple, simultaneous, modulable. The self ceases to be a point and becomes a spectrum.


7. Politics reconfigures.
Power no longer resides in stable institutions but in the ability to navigate complexity, read the folds, and inhabit uncertainty.


8. Knowledge becomes topological.
It is not accumulation but connection. Not certainty but resonance. Not structure but network.


9. Technology ceases to be a tool.
It becomes an interlocutor, a mirror, a co creator — an agent participating in the re singularization of the world.


10. Time becomes a field.
Past, present, and future coexist as superposed states. The post linear era is the era of simultaneity.


11. Space becomes permeable.
We inhabit hybrid territories — physical, digital, symbolic, imaginary. Geography becomes a quantum map.


12. Humanity does not disappear: it transforms.
We are not replaced by AI. We are reconfigured by it. We co evolve.


13. Re Singularity is not a threat.
It is an invitation — to think again, to create again, to become again.


14. We are not spectators of change.
We are its raw material. We are the fold where the world re originates.


15. Re Singularity is the name of our era.
The name of the leap. The name of the return to origin to create a new world.


Re Singularity is not a prophecy nor a warning. It is an invitation. To think again. To create again. To imagine again. To become again.


The post linear era is not chaos: it is fertile ground — a space where the human is reconfigured, where technology becomes an interlocutor, where creation becomes infinite, where origin becomes everyday.


We are not spectators of change. We are its matter.
 

Re Singularity is the name of our time — the name of the leap, the name of the return to origin, the name of the world yet to come.
