The Ars Biologica ArtXScience Residency, a joint initiative between Ars Electronica and České Budějovice European Capital of Culture 2028, offers a fully funded programme for artists, designers, creatives, and collectives to engage in direct collaboration with local scientists. As part of the broader Ars Biologica project—a key pillar of the ECoC 2028 programme—the residency is situated within a critical discourse on art and science as partners in addressing urgent environmental challenges. The institutional weight of Ars Electronica, a longstanding arbiter of media art and technoscience, combined with the cultural investment of a European Capital of Culture, signals a rigorous and high-visibility context for selected practitioners. The residency seeks proposals for two interconnected components: a spatial ArtXScience artwork that moves beyond screen-based explorations, and public engagement formats that involve the local community in dialogue with the artwork. This dual requirement underscores a curatorial vision that values both material and social dimensions of artistic practice. The final outcome will be presented at the Ars Biologica Festival, providing a platform for the work to reach diverse audiences and contribute to ongoing conversations about ecological resilience. Artists will receive full funding for the residency, though specific terms regarding stipend, travel, accommodation, and production budget are not detailed in the provided information. The programme is designed to foster deep exchange between artistic and scientific methodologies, with a focus on climate emergence, sustainable agriculture, geoengineering, permaculture, water resource management, and broader ecological impacts on local communities. This thematic scope invites proposals that are both conceptually ambitious and grounded in site-specific research.
