WHO THE RESIDENCY IS FOR

 

The open call is addressed to:

 

– Experimentalists seeking to initiate new works or substantially develop existing projects through sustained testing, exchange, and collaborative inquiry

– Sound artists investigating listening, space, materiality, performance, installation, and expanded modes of sonic presentation

– Makers and technologists extending artistic practice through fabrication, computation, electronics, prototyping, and interdisciplinary collaboration

– Individuals and collectives working across performance, installation, moving image, spatial practice, participatory systems, artistic research, and hybrid forms

 

Applicants may propose an initial concept, a developing work, an existing project requiring substantial transformation, a technical or performative system, a prototype, a methodology, or a research-led proposition. Projects need not conform to established musical formats, but should articulate a clear artistic question and be developable across the online and on-site stages.

 

The residency is suited to practitioners who understand experimentation as more than stylistic novelty and are prepared to examine methods, articulate assumptions, expose projects to critique, test ideas under changing conditions, and revise decisions in response to material, technical, ethical, spatial, or collaborative discoveries.

 

Participants should be prepared to:

 

– Present and contextualize their artistic practices and methods

– Share prototypes, diagrams, recordings, code, technical plans, texts, or other working materials

– Engage attentively with the work and questions of other participants

– Offer and receive precise artistic, technical, methodological, and critical feedback

– Discuss the material, infrastructural, ethical, ecological, and social conditions of production

– Participate in experimentation, testing, analysis, production planning, documentation, and reflection

– Remain responsive to the transformation of projects through collaboration and public encounter

– Contribute to a working environment based on reciprocity, accessibility, care, and professional responsibility
