CALL FOR PROPOSALS – AI EXPLORATION COHORT RESIDENCY
THIS CALL FOR PROPOSALS IS OPEN TO:
- Artists residing in Quebec;
- Professional status;
- Coming from any discipline and working with any medium;
- With a fairly good knowledge of technology (but not necessarily AI);
- Able to take time off during the periods specified in this form.
THE CALL
As part of its Chantier IA program, 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 bring together, for a period of eight weeks, a cohort of three artists from any discipline, who will work in parallel on the research and development of their respective projects. Throughout the residency, the cohort will be accompanied by one of Sporobole’s developers. The aim of this call for projects is to enable three artists to deepen their knowledge and open up a space for experimentation and knowledge sharing around AI-related technologies. Given the exploratory and collective nature of the call, projects submitted may focus more on process and experimentation than on expected results.
