Applications are now open to the second iteration of the transmediale residency programme in cooperation with the Ministry of the Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile and DIRAC - Division for Cultures, Arts, Heritage and Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile. The residency takes place for two months (August & September, 2023) at transmediale studio in Berlin, and calls for research projects from Chilean or Chile based artists and researchers working in the fields of art, science, new media, and technology.
From anxieties about AI development to the rapid shifts in atmospheric carbon and temperature, news and media increasingly deliver a foreboding interpretation of the world. Whether it’s the return of the past in the present or conspiracies nested within conspiracies, networks and platforms have become a playground for entertainment and fear. As unreliable narratives spread, and climate and social inequalities expand and endure, an atmosphere of doubt creeps in.
Deadline: June 9, 2023 (23:59 CEST)
As this undercurrent of foreboding permeates across digital platforms, the transmediale x Chile residency welcomes new or ongoing projects that question what kinds of illogical, irrational, and unusable politics and affect emerge?
