Onassis Foundation | ONX Seeds Open Call 2026
Call for projects that approach technology as a material for experience, imagination, and design

As human-made books and images become the exception and algorithmic production becomes the norm, the digital is no longer confined to or emanating from the screen. It permeates the body, clothing, objects, sound, the street, the room, the community, while also returning to the screen as a space for storytelling, connection, and imagination. ONX Seeds is looking for projects that give these signals new forms: images, objects, environments, and rituals that can be seen, touched, worn, inhabited, played, and shared.
ONX Seeds invites new media creators, creative technologists, designers, game developers, and interdisciplinary teams to develop functional prototypes that move between the analog and the digital, the material and the networked, the personal and the collective.
The program supports early-stage, proof-of-concept projects that approach technology not as intangible infrastructure, but as a material for experience, imagination, and design: something that can be worn, touched, heard, inhabited, played, and activated with others.
