Bioart Society: deCYPher and Bioindustry 4.0 Artists in Residence 2025 (Belgium, Netherlands)

Hands in gloves holding a paper with science equipment around.

This combined open call invites applications for four fully funded residencies across the two European Union Horizon projects deCYPher and Bioindustry 4.0. Three artists will be selected to participate in the deCYPher project and one in the Bioindustry 4.0 project. Each artist is offered a 28-day-long fully funded research residency to be undertaken during 2025 and further support for the production of work towards a group exhibition in 2026.

The deCYPher artists in residence will be facilitated by Bioart Society in close collaboration with other deCYPher project partners. The deCYPher residencies will take place in the facilities of the Centre for Synthetic Biology (CSB) at Ghent University (Belgium), the department of Bioscience at Wageningen University and Research (Netherlands), and ML6 (Belgium). Each selected artist can but does not have to visit all three locations.

The Bioindustry 4.0 artist in residence will be facilitated by Biofaction and the residency will take place in the University of Wageningen (Netherlands) at Prof. Vitor Martins dos Santos Institute for Biomanufacturing and Digital Twins.

In dialogue with Bioart Society, Biofaction and the hosting project partners, each artist will have the opportunity to formulate a residency structure that supports their own research and practice.

This is an opportunity for professional artists with experience working within the field of art and science. The organisers are looking for artists who are curious and constructive in their critical thinking to collaborate on stimulating deeper reflection about convergence of AI/ML and SynBio. Those selected for the residency should also be available to participate and present within a series of 2 workshop labs organised as part of the project.

Artists selected for the residencies will receive:

  • Fee (residency, exhibition and workshop participation): 7,500 EUR
  • Production of work up to 4,000 EUR
  • An additional budget for travel and accommodation
