About the foundation
Sónar+D is the innovation and digital culture arm of the Sónar festival, founded in 2013 in Barcelona as a meeting point for creative technologies, music, and digital art. Its collaboration with Fundación Cotec, a private non-profit dedicated to promoting innovation in Spain, extends this mission through joint calls such as the KNOWCASE installation opportunity. Together, they support projects that explore the intersection of art, science, and technology, with a focus on research-driven and experimental practices that engage critically with emerging tools and platforms.

Artists should approach this opportunity with a clear, concise proposal that articulates the conceptual and technical dimensions of their project. Given the festival context, works that are visually striking, technically innovative, and accessible to a broad audience tend to fare well. Emphasize the research or development process, but also demonstrate feasibility within the constraints of a festival installation. Familiarity with Sónar+D's previous editions and thematic interests is beneficial. Applications are typically handled through an open call, so monitor their website and newsletters for deadlines and specific requirements.
