Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition seeks points of contact between people, technology, and nature. Through this open call, the technological art farm Maajaam is seeking proposals for installations, interventions, or processes to be placed in natural landscapes that explore the human condition in a contemporary technological society. The artworks should be able to withstand outdoor conditions. The organisers encourage artists to consider energy-sustainable solutions, such as alternative sources (e.g., solar panels), and to be as economical as possible.
The residency duration at Maajaam is up to three weeks, depending on the production plan. The residency will take place between June and July 2025 at Maajaam, Estonia. For an artist group, Maajaam can accommodate up to 3 people per collective. Two meals per day will be provided and covered by the host during the residency.
The produced works will remain in the possession of Wild Bits and Maajaam until 2028. By participating in this open call, the artist agrees that their works may also be displayed in satellite exhibitions co-organised or co-curated by Wild Bits.
The selected projects will receive an artist’s fee of 3,000 EUR (per collective, gross salary, all taxes included) for participating in the residency and carrying out the production of the artwork. The production budget for the project is up to 5,000 EUR. The artists’ travel budget is limited to 350 EUR per person within Europe and up to 700 EUR for artists traveling outside the EU. Accommodation will be provided by the organiser.
