Substrates conference series - Substrates 2026
An increasing number of researchers see their work as interactive authoring tools or software substrates for interactive computational media. By talking about “authoring tools”, we remove the divide between programmers and users; “software substrates” let us look beyond conventional programming languages and systems; and “interactive computational media” promises a more malleable and adaptable notion of tools for thought we are striving for. This workshop aims to bring together a wide range of perspectives on these matters.
This is a call to action! If you're interested in the future of the ATproto ecosystem and want to help shape it, click through to the announcement for info on how to get involved. This is a large effort that's been cooking since December, and I'm excited to be a part of this initiative!
