Digital Art Residency in Cooperation With Pro Helvetia
Overview
Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, has long been a steward of cross-disciplinary practice, supporting artists whose work traverses national and medium boundaries. This residency, developed in cooperation with a digital art residency, extends that mandate into the realm of film, visual art, and digital art. While the specific host institution and location remain unspecified in the public record, the involvement of Pro Helvetia signals a commitment to rigorous, research-driven practices that engage with digital technologies as both tool and subject. The residency is designed for practitioners whose work interrogates the moving image, computational aesthetics, or hybrid forms that resist easy categorization. It offers a period of concentrated production and reflection, typically without the pressures of exhibition or commercial output. Artists selected for such residencies often receive studio space, technical support, and a stipend, though the exact terms are not detailed in the available information. What is clear is the curatorial ambition: to foster work that is formally adventurous and critically aware, situated within a broader conversation about digital culture. Given the absence of a stated deadline or fee, interested artists should consult Pro Helvetia's official channels for forthcoming details. The residency's global scope suggests an openness to applicants from diverse geographies, though eligibility criteria may apply. This is not a call for finished projects, but for proposals that demonstrate a compelling line of inquiry and the capacity to realize it within a residency framework.
