Centre for Digital Inquiry
CDI-TV: Now in Book Form!
Prefer pages to playback? Catch up on CDI-TV without having to watch it (and without having to look at us!). Hybrid Encounters is a downloadable PDF of edited transcripts from our first year of livestreamed sessions (July 2024-June 2025), including a short intro by the CDI team.
A portable archive of low-budget, high-intensity studio presence and content rich conversation covering topics from tactical media to the politics of AI, from vaporware/backrooms/weirdcore to the neo-plebeian condition, from algorithmic management to digital disconnection.
Short talks, discussion, lunch, a panel on Creativity and AI, and time for informal conversation: this half-day event brings together researchers from across Warwick working with digital methods, computational tools, creative practice and critical approaches to technology. This is a chance to hear about live projects, see where different fields intersect or diverge, and meet others across the University whose work may connect with your own.
Featuring speakers from departments and centres across Warwick including Statistics, Translation Studies, Economics, Warwick Medical School, WBS and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies.
Location: Helen Martin Studio (12pm - 4pm) and FAB 1.16 (4.15pm - 6pm)
A good way to get a sense of the work taking place across the University and meet people thinking about related questions from different perspectives.

StreamArtNetwork (SAN) Archipelago @ Transmediale
Between 28th January and 1st February 2026, CDI-TV joined SAN Archipelago at Transmediale Festival 2026: forming a studio-chain of livestreamers spanning Krakow, Kyiv, Budapest, Warwick, Leeds, Munich and Vilnius, linked by converging and shared currents. This pop-up collaboration worked as a low-budget, high-intensity carrier-net for collective presence across borders, territories and time-zones within the festival. The team:
- UKRAiNATV (Kyiv/Kraków),
- CDI-TV (Warwick),
- Konfluxus (Budapest),
- 3022 (Vilnius)
Over several days, the network appeared as a chill-ready, shaded locality, where visitors could drift in and out of live-streamed interviews, discussions and performances.

Warwick's hub for critical digital research.
The CDI brings together researchers across humanities, social sciences and sciences to think with and through our digital condition.
We use and develop digital research techniques and associated tools to advance knowledge about culture and society ('thinking with' the digital), while also taking up the digital as a substantive critical topic ('thinking through' the digital).
