Artsformation Open Call

Szanowni/e Studenci/tki serdecznie zachęcamy do wzięcia udziału w konkursie o charakterze rezydencji i stypendium dla artystek i artystów zorganizowanym przez Waag Technology and Society w Amsterdamie:

At Waag, we’re looking for artists to create new works for the Horizon Europe project Artsformation.

About the call

Artsformation is a European research project exploring the intersection between arts, society and technology. We investigate the potential of the arts to intervene in critical social issues, with a view to remedying a range of abusive and exploitative aspects of digital technologies, such as privacy, education and labour politics. 

The digital divide and lack of inclusivity are pressing problems in developing digital technologies: AI in facial recognition that fails to recognise people of colour, social media platforms who sell your data, digital illiteracy of elderly people, and excluding technologies for people with a disability are just a few of the examples.

We believe that art and artists can help provide critical insights, reflections, interventions, connections, and imaginations in tackling issues in the development and use of digital technologies. Through art, Artsformation aims to pose propositions for how our relationship with technology can be different.

Open call for new artworks

We are calling for new works of art that address three major concerns of the research of Artsformation: the crisis of democracy, privacy and surveillance.

Deadline: 23:59 (CET) on Friday 29th April 2022
