The Residency invites 4 artists, researchers, and interdisciplinary practitioners working across analog and digital media within audio and visual culture, fine art, performance, literature, theory, involving community practices, and debating artistic approaches to explore the intersection between nature and technology through different (available) media, various realities (AR, VR, MR, XR), Artificial Intelligence and cultural and natural heritage in the Maribor region relating on ecology, energy, history, present and future and integrate various media parameters within the Artistic Intelligence mode into the unique node – artifact/artwork.
This residency invites participants to explore various elements in the area and its region by using analog and/or digital media within all art-fields – visual and fine art, (audio-visual) performance and theater, music, literature – relying on original personal ascent.
