THE CALL

As part of its AI Workshop, Sporobole is launching a call for research and creative projects focusing on the tools and challenges of artificial intelligence. The aim of this call is to offer a 10-week creative residency to a professional artist. During the residency, the artist will be accompanied by one of Sporobole’s technology developers.This call is primarily aimed at visual, sound, media and digital artists, but projects from other disciplines will also be considered. Given the duration of the residency, projects may include a significant exploratory dimension. The projects proposed can be of any nature, touching as much on critical issues linked to artificial intelligence as on the use or detour of its tools.

Only one proposal will be accepted for this section. A second call for projects is planned for the years 2025-2026, and will be launched in autumn 2024.

  • 10-week residency;
