Perfolab Pilot Lisbon ends with transdisciplinary approaches for Sustainable Digital Futures

The Perfolab Lisbon pilot has successfully concluded, marking an important milestone for the TRANSPER project’s exploration of transdisciplinary learning methodologies in higher education.

Over four days, students worked on performance, video games, physical computing, and media ecologies. They produced and presented site-based and site-responsive works that made visible the impact of material infrastructures on the natural ecosystem.

The pilot demonstrated the value of integrating performing arts and technological practices to foster critical reflection, innovation, and ecological awareness. Through collaborative experimentation, students challenged dominant narratives of technological progress and explored alternative ways of understanding digitalization as a socio-material and ecological process.

Perfolab Lisbon reinforces TRANSPER’s mission to promote critical thinking, innovativeness, and responsible digital engagement, contributing to the development of sustainable and inclusive approaches to digitalization in higher education. Therefore, the organisers would like to extend their gratitude to all those who participated in the week-long collaboration.
