The ArTS Production Grant fosters artistic creation at the nexus of ArTS (Art, Technology, Society). How can we become more human?
How can microbes save the earth? How can we co-exist with technology as our second nature? Artists have always understood the power of questions
Ars Electronica is seeking proposals for artistic formats such as installations, performances, or interventions from the area of Interactive Art, Bio Art, Hybrid Art, AI & Life Sciences, Sound Art, Digital Communities and Art Activism (but not limited to). The intention of the artwork must be to critically examine the impact of technological advancements on society. Through this grant, we aim to stimulate discussion and debate around issues such as digitalization, digital humanism, sustainability, climate justice, digital democracy, societal transformation, transparency, ethics, global equity, inclusion, and diversity.
The ArTS Production Grant is a fully funded opportunity for artists and collectives to continue their artistic creations at the nexus of art, technology, and society. Art practitioners from Switzerland from disciplines supported by Pro Helvetia, including visual arts, design, interactive media, performing arts, and music can submit their proposals. The proposal can be for a new project, a prototype, or an extension of an existing project. The art practitioners should already have experience in working in the field of art and technology as this program is dedicated to artists working at the nexus of art, technology and society.
Benefits: The artist or artist group receives support by the grant consisting of €20.000 artist fee and production cost. The fee structure is: €5.000,- artist fee + €15.000,- production costs for which a proposal is required.
