S+T+ARTS AIR is launching a new S+T+ARTS residencies programme focused on two main themes: Resilient interspecies urban ecosystems and Human AI Ecosystems, presenting a unique opportunity for artists to collaborate at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
Air extends beyond the invisible substance we breathe. It encompasses both visible and invisible elements, complementing our senses and connecting us to our surroundings. It acts as a warning system, heightening our perception of danger and evoking deep emotions through scent. Air enables the existence of sound and has a tactile connection to our body, particularly our hair and skin.
Creative and experienced artists are invited to participate in the S+T+ARTS AIR Residencies, which deepen the multifaceted nature of air and its profound significance in our lives.
The project consortium offers resident artists access to the technologies and know-how of two of Europe’s leading supercomputing centres (HLRS in Stuttgart and BSC in Barcelona), SONY Computer Science Laboratories in Rome, HEKA lab & KUBER in Koper, Slovenia, and the artistic expert organisations Fundación ÉPICA La Fura dels Baus from Badalona, Media Solutions Center (MSC) from Stuttgart, In4Art from Rotterdam and RCR Architects from Barcelona.
AIR will select up to 10 applications that will take part in a 10 month support programme where they will be working towards defining, experimenting, and prototyping in collaboration with a dedicated core team from the consortium. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents in Member States of the European Union and its Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) or Associated Countries to Horizon Europe.
Along with mentoring support and access to facilities, each selected artist will receive up to 40,000 EUR as a lump sum grant.
