Ars Electronica, in collaboration with the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio and the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile, is pleased to announce an Open Call for Chilean artists working at the intersection of art, science, and technology. This initiative is part of an ongoing partnership dedicated to fostering international exchange and creating visibility for Chile’s vibrant media art scene within a global context.
Open Call for Chilean Artists 2025
Submission deadline: May 26, 2025
For the 2025 edition of the Ars Electronica Festival, taking place from September 3–7 in Linz, Austria, two outstanding artistic projects will be selected through this Open Call. The chosen artists will be invited to present their work as part of the festival’s official program, engage with Ars Electronica’s international network of partners, and take part in a dynamic environment of artistic experimentation, dialogue, and exchange.
The call is open to individual artists and collectives of Chilean origin, living in Chile or abroad, whose practices address the interplay between artistic expression, scientific inquiry, technological development, and societal transformation.
