A small collage-like figure of a woman, assembled from fragmented images including a smiling face, appears near the lower left. Along the left edge, a narrow vertical panel shows repeated small grayscale images. A JavaScript warning dialog overlays the artwork, reading: “No, definitely, your legs are too long,” with an OK button.

A promotional graphic for a transmediale open call. The background is a soft gradient blending teal, dark grey, and warm terracotta tones. White text at the top reads "transmediale/" and large white text in the centre reads "open call" with the transmediale logo. At the bottom, a black rounded rectangle contains the text "Residencies 2027" in white. Below that, a row of coloured circles and a horizontal bar in orange, grey, and teal serve as a visual identity element.
