Open Call for Artist Residencies
Open call for artists interested in investigating the impact of new technologies on democracies.
Together with our partners in European Digital Deal – a project co-funded by Creative Europe – we’ve launched an open call for 12 artist residencies exploring the deep entanglement between new technologies and democracy.
Artists are called on to investigate a range of topics, from the notion of truth in the information age shaped by algorithms, biases in AI, techno-anxiety, the digital divides arising as a result of digitalisation and ways to counteract them to new forms of surveillance, intelligence, living, citizenship or work.
The residency organised by LABoral Centro de Arte will focus on how digital environments increasingly influence and determine the forms of socialisation in contemporary life, as they constitute spaces for communication, meeting and interaction. This challenge will explore new ways in which public administration, understood as a collective form of organisation for the common good, can offer meeting and socialisation points that innovatively connect online and offline spaces to produce meaningful social links.
The selected artists will receive a 25.000 EUR grant to complete their project, mentorship through an incubation programme, and the chance to show their work at Ars Electronica Festival, Onassis Stegi, and Laboral, among many other locations.
More information on the challenges, the hosts and the expert group for each residency can be found here.
You can submit your call until 30 November 2023 at 23:59 CET.Head over to the European Digital Deal website to find out more about the call and apply.
This project has been co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme
