If artists and designers continue to insist on requiring a studio – then shouldn't the way each of them mobilizes it be a crucial component of any analysis of their practice?

— Alex Coles, The Transdisciplinary Studio (Sternberg Press, 2012)

Questioning the definition of disciplinary boundaries and the nature of the possibilities of their transgression, the Transdisciplinary Studio is an appeal to transdisciplinary methodologies and the current contextualization of the understanding of ‘transdisciplinarity’ as a new studio model for the expanded structure that is specific to contemporary artistic practice.

Here, the idea of the Internet as a meta-working space that complements the physical studio is explored and represented.

Interested in the distinction between ‘transdisciplinarity’ and ‘interdisciplinarity’, this project looks at “transdisciplinarity” as a new kind of ‘intelligence’ that mirrors the bond between mind, affection and body, while calling for a paradigm change that would also embrace a (University) reform.
