This year's thehost.is artistic residency is hosted by Dreaming Beyond AI and aims to explore the relationship between time and AI. We are looking for five artists in residence who will work individually and together to interrogate this topic in an artistic way.

Today's AI reinforces temporal norms in which time is not evenly distributed. While some can enjoy the illusion of comfort through speed, others see their time decrease. In this residency, we want to artistically explore, question, deconstruct, and play together with the artists in residence around our ideas, perceptions, and experiences of time and temporalities in the context of the AI ​​discourse.

We would like to invite applicants to artistically engage with the above topics and submit a short project idea that can be worked on within two months and will result in an artistic output. In terms of content, we are looking for submissions that, for instance, make current mechanisms and effects of AI and temporality clear and understandable for a broad audience. Similarly, we are looking for proposals/visions for alternative, more just presents that question current hegemonic orders. We explicitly invite emerging artists to apply for this program.

The residency will be compensated with 4000€ and will take place online and offline: 23.-30.06.2023 near Hamburg, Germany (in person) and July and September (digital). The projects will be presented by the artists in residence in Hamburg in the frame of a symposium (date tbd).

Within their residency, participants will receive creative sparring with the artists Idil Galip, Moisés Horta, Neema Githere, Petja Ivanova, and Vanessa A. Opoku. The residency is conceptualized by Dreaming Beyond AI and is realized in cooperation with ifa, Deichtorhallen Hamburg and Kampnagel within the framework of thehost.is a residency program.
