CALL FOR ARTISTS
The European Digital Deal call invited artists interested in exploring the deep entanglement between new technologies and democracy to apply for one of the 12 residencies hosted by one of the partner institutions in the project.
The residencies focus on creating spaces for artists to investigate a range of topics, from the notion of truth in the information age shaped by algorithms, biases in AI, techno-anxiety, and the digital divides arising as a result of digitalisation to new forms of surveillance, intelligence, living, citizenship, or work.
The selected artists will receive a 25.000 EUR grant to complete their project, the support of the group of experts around each residency, access to mentorship through an incubation programme, and the chance to show their work at Ars Electronica Festival, Onassis Stegi, and Laboral among many other locations.
