Digital environments frequently reproduce norms that marginalize certain voices, particularly with regard to gender and cultural diversity (Kline et al., 2003; Malazita, 2024; Marshall, 2025). These issues are further exacerbated by the digitization of production tools and dissemination spaces\u2014from language models (AI) to the algorithmic determinations of platforms\u2014which affect both digital creation and more \u201ctraditional\u201d creative practices (Gillespie, 2024; Lazer, 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this context, research-creation (RC) (Bruneau &amp; al., 2017; Paquin, 2018) provides a privileged framework for rethinking digital creativity and its social impacts. It offers a space where creative practices become modes of analysis, where works function as critical devices, and where processes themselves reveal the socio-technical dynamics shaping our digital environments. <a href=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Call_for_papers-CREAT-RI2026.pdf\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Call_for_papers-CREAT-RI2026.pdf\">Download the full call<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Cover image : \u24b8metamorworks, Adobe Stock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-small-font-size\">Published on January 21, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadline: February 20, 2026 The CREAT Chair, in partnership with the Hexagram Network, is issuing a call for papers for a symposium focused on digital creativity and social transformations.
