In light of tectonic shifts in the overlap between art, culture and technology in recent years, Eyebeam is throwing open its Residency program to a single invocation - Techne! This focus is also the theme of Eyebeam’s current residency call.
The term techne , for the Greeks, was inclusive of the arts as well as craftsmanship and engineering. Now, the chasm between art and technology is narrowing, with the boundaries between arts, craft, and aesthetics blending in exciting new ways, largely due to high-tech/low-cost computation and more pervasive internet access.
We are asking you , artists, digital creators, engineers, creative technologists, researchers and cultural producers , to join us in creating provocative work that helps realign the arts to the machinic. As devices become further extensions of the body, in a time when advertisements are tailored to hyper-specific, localized desires and privacy is nearly a luxury product, artistic practice is more important than ever in influencing the cultural trajectory. This residency cycle Eyebeam is looking to support new work that is deeply examining artistic creation in relation to emergent technology, in various forms, and will consider all proposals, especially those that have positive real-world impact.
• Single PDF document containing any visuals (including timeline with milestones, and additional information such as data flow, sketches, schematics) that will help reviewers understand the proposal.
