S+T+ARTS in the City launches a new S+T+ARTS residencies programme that aims at enhancing art-driven innovation at local level and human-centred technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, new digital media, smart cities, high performance computing, data science, or biotechnologies, that will be able to put in the market products and services that have a positive ecological, societal, and ethical impact.
By combining arts and creativity with science and tech for good, S+T+ARTS in the City contributes to the emergence of ecologically conscious technology uses that answer the current challenges that regions are facing, in sectors such as green manufacturing, sustainable urban development, security, recyclable textiles, digital literacy, and more. The final aim is to develop thought-provoking artworks in the form of prototypes that seamlessly bridge between art and technology and propose solutions to a real-life issue that have both artistic and functional value.
S+T+ARTS in the City will support 11 artists through a programme that includes a 9-month residency at a Regional S+T+ARTS Centre. The residencies will start in October 2023, with multiple exhibitions and events during the residency period and thereafter until November 2024. The residencies themselves are centred around 11 challenges:
Going Wild in the City (Gluon, Belgium).
Reclaiming our Agency (Gluon, Belgium).
Where Our Food Comes From (Gluon, Belgium).
The Value of Care (Gluon, Belgium).
Machine Sapiens and the City (MEET, Italy).
The Future of Computing (Kersnikova, Slovenia).
Driving Agricultural Sustainability - Empowering Smallholder Farmers with Digital Transformation (INOVA+, Portugal).
Improving Photosynthesis for Greener Cities (HacTE, Spain).
Designing the Robots of the Future (HacTE, Spain).
Immersive and Digital Narratives for Climate Change (HacTE, Spain).
Selected artists will receive a budget of up to 40,000 EUR for artist residencies to cover the artist fee and other related costs (including but not limited to artwork/prototype production, participation to exhibitions, travel and accommodation expenses, insurance). Individual artists or collectives of individual artists from any country in the world are eligible, on the condition that they can travel to Europe for the S+T+ARTS in the City programme.
Deadline: 25 August 2023
