Nov 20 - Dec 23 2021

Sensistan, in collaboration with Museum Of Goa, invites emerging artists, and aspiring artists in exploring the nexus of Art, Science & Technology.

​

During the 4 week residency, residents will be working with new media practices such as digital performances, projection mapping, interactive media, algorithmic & data-driven imagery, and emerging AI-Art practices. Residents are expected to build a finished artwork to be exhibited at the end of the residency period. 

The selected artists will attend a talk on the histories of Goa by Dr. Subodh Kerkar and also participate in a guided tour of the Museum Of Goa.

The Interactive Art Installations created during this residency shall offer a glimpse into Goa's history and cultural landscape, including beaches, parties, music, theatre, festivities, cuisine, migration, and political invasion as the artistic expression. 

This residency is designed for:

• technologists: mathematicians, engineers, software developers, architects, and designers

• animators, graphic designers, painters, sculpture artists, video artists, mix´-media artists, and contemporary artists of any other discipline looking to grow and learn in the tech art space

​​

Most excitingly, this residency is open for collaborations with corporate employees, and freelancers who are interested in learning about art and technology. You needn’t be an artist to join in collaboration – anybody looking to take a break from work and help design and execute art in collaboration with other artists who want to explore tech art is welcome to apply.
