I'm training for a feeling that I don't have yet
(28.11.2025) Pritchard, Helen; Troyan, Cassandra; Cochior, Cristina
In the "I'm training for a feeling that I don’t have yet"* training session we want to open a mutual portal for attunement with each other and the possible worlds held there, which are present but not necessarily accessible to us. Through this practice we hope to get closer.
By attunement, we mean focus. A training of our attentions, sensorial and otherwise, on what is already in front of us, and in us. We mean presence; presence, not absence. Being present with ourselves and others. Attunement is a necessary part of the everyday practice of rehearsals. It is how we prepare ourselves for the struggles ahead, but without hardening ourselves to the point that we remove our capacity for joyful militancy and mourning. That we confuse commitment with mastery, and with it lose a curiosity brave enough to make space for vulnerability.

That Which Will Have Had to Happen. Mutual Training for/by Portal Workers
(27.11.2025) Rocha, Jara; Snelting, Femke
Under fossil-fuel driven racial capitalism today, life takes place in-between the continuation of deadly Modernity and a yet unknown set-up. The everyday happens in juxtaposed and contradictory portals, suspended in their pre-conditional determination of how a collective future should be or will have had to be.
We understand portals as spacetimes of and for transition and change. But how these transitions take place, and what modes of existence they carry along, expand or reproduce, is one of the biggest contemporary controversies. Ecocidal, genocidal, epistemicidal tendencies are normalised in the monocultural reality project of tech capitalists and supremacist states, which of course leave no room for imagining how to transition, or maybe rotate otherwise.
In such reality project, imaginaries of and for transition are predominantly being shaped as the so-called twin-transition: an unsurprising knot of computational infrastructures and greenwashing practices that at best tend to reform, keeping close to the values of the liberal order. The twinning of the so-called green and digital transitions keeps the green colonial worldview intact, limiting the perception of transition as if their skinny isthmus was the only possible threshold to cross.
We find ourselves surrounded by a landscape of contradictory Green New Deals, or what Jose Iglesias García-Arenal calls 'green-and-chrome transitions', full of thinly veiled propaganda for business as usual, top-to-bottom as usual, contentious as usual, harmful as usual. And precisely because of that, we are committed to conceptualize, study and test what kind of solidary practices, analytics and theories it might take to transition otherwise. As our contribution to the multilateral and tentative process of abolishing the worldview that is contained by the twin transition regime, and therefore propose a mutual training ground for and by portal workers.
Portal works are modes of doing and thinking for transitioning, and they can happen otherwise. They enact change on a daily basis, reckon with the massive world order rotation and persistently operate along it. We consider portal works to be sets of intentional acts of saying, showing, remembering, moving, projecting and imagining towards liberation. They are aesthetic operations because they engage with the redistribution of the sensible. We count on the politicization of aesthetics as a powerful attuning to complex realities. Learning from Romi Morrison's work on Black computational futures that haven’t yet happened, but must, we wonder how to radically inhabit transitions as key technocultural struggles; we consider discomfortable, opaque, disobedient, unapologetic, ambiguous and demanding modes of doing and thinking significant as portal work, and in need of our collective attention, reflection and documentation.
The mutual training ground for/by portal workers will be an occasion for taking three days together with known and to-be-known comrades, to practice with thresholds, impasses and their 'tenses of possibility'.

Where should speed-pedelecs ride? Perspectives from riders versus other road users
(2025) van Eggermond, Michael; Schaffner, Dorothea
This study investigates the integration of speed-pedelecs (S-pedelecs) into the existing mobility system, focusing on the perspectives of various road users across Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. S-pedelecs, capable of pedal-assisted speeds up to 45 km/h, present an alternative to motorized transport but challenge existing infrastructure due to their unique speed and performance characteristics. Using a survey approach that included an image-based stated preference and acceptance survey, the study reveals strong acceptance for sharing cycling facilities among S-pedelec riders and other road users, regardless of country or road type. S-pedelec riders prefer using cycling facilities, with mixed traffic being more acceptable under conditions like lower speed limits (30 km/h) and low vehicular traffic. Results from this study fill a gap in the existing research and can inform policy makers and planners on the next generation of mobility infrastructure that is accepted, safe and inclusive for Spedelec riders as well as for other road users.

Library Making as Practice
(05.11.2025) Weinmayr, Eva
In this presentation, Eva Weinmayr discusses tactics and strategies of library making to build knowledge infrastructures that contest enclosures and draw attention to power asymmetries and develop trans*feminist practices of reuse. Drawing on The Piracy Project — developed with Peruvian artist Andrea Francke and comprising over one hundred pirated, copied, appropriated, and modified books from around the world — she discusses methods of circumventing intellectual enclosures while also confronting the colonial entanglements embedded in ideas of universal openness and access. The second project, Library of Inclusions and Omissions (LIO), is a temporary, community-run reading room focused on queer, intersectional trans*feminist and anti-colonial resources. Asking the readers which book, picture, film, text they would like to share with this library community, this collective resource challenges dominant systems of gate-keeping, validation and classification prevailing in institutional libraries in the Global North. Whose knowledges are included, how are they described, and how can they be found? The presentation took place in the context of Critical Media Lab Colloquium, organised by Lucie Kolb with invited guests Nick Thurston and Eva Weinmayr, moderated by Stefanie Bräuer.
