Collaborate
Elxsis is open to collaborations with researchers, institutions, venues, and technical partners. The studio works best where there is a specific system, dataset, or research question, plus a clear setting for the work to live, whether that is online, on a large screen, or in an exhibition context.
If you are interested in publishing experiments digitally, many Elxsis threads also feed into MXWLL, but Elxsis is equally interested in screenings, installations, and institution-led projects.
For general enquiries, see Contact.
Current invitations
Prototype screening partner
A small venue for a one-night prototype screening of Motion Studies for Invisible Systems, used to test presentation formats and gather feedback.
Mathematical adviser, light-touch
Two or three short conversations to sense-check public-facing language and ensure the work stays rigorous without becoming didactic.
Sound design or composition
Sound support for a small suite of loop-capable film studies. Minimal, precise, and designed for gallery-scale playback.
Astrophysical data thread partner
A collaborator interested in the visual communication of stellar catalogues and related datasets, including HR diagram and density map studies.
HPC and compute partners
Partners interested in supporting high-resolution simulation and rendering work that benefits from serious compute resources and careful public presentation.
Future threads
- •Gravitational wave visual studies and sonification-led experiments
- •Animated HR diagrams and stellar evolution visualisations
- •Neutrino event streams and detector map studies
- •Large-scale dynamical systems at exhibition resolution
- •Cellular automata and reaction-diffusion as moving surfaces
- •Complex function fields, domain colouring, and transformation maps
- •Three-body and N-body dynamics as cinematic studies
- •Symmetry projections and group-structure visual research
- •Climate and earth systems visualisations built from open datasets
- •Microscopic and biological pattern formation, where the science partner leads
- •Instrument data as image, translating measurement into form
- •Supercomputing residencies and research-centre partnerships
How to propose a collaboration
- •What system or dataset are you thinking about, and what is the source
- •Who is involved on your side, and what role do you want Elxsis to play
- •What outputs you have in mind, for example film loops, installation, web, print
- •Where the work will be presented, and who the audience is
- •Your rough timeline, constraints, and any available budget or resources
