Call for Applications: Where Haptics meet the Arts

The ligeti center's “Artists and Scientists in Residence” program is embarking on its fourth iteration. We welcome artists and scientists to undertake an interdisciplinary art-science project at the ligeti center from mid-July until mid-September. Working closely with the center’s Haptic Lab and other labs, the program will emphasize experimental engagement with technologies being worked on at the ligeti center. Residents are invited to develop an interactive installation for public spaces, with the aim of stimulating public interest in engineering and inviting physical interaction. Preference will be given to projects that allow the collection of data from interactions for scientific, statistical, and artistic purposes.

In the decision-making process, the jury will consider the innovative quality of the project proposal, the potential for collaboration with the various labs of the ligeti center, and the professional competence of the applicants. We only accept applications from individuals. Residents are expected to give a talk and to present their work and results at the end of the residency period.

On Tuesday, April 22nd at 5:00 PM there will be an info call via Zoom where the following technologies will be presented, and questions can be asked.

The Technologies
The following information gives an overview of projects a residency proposal could build upon. Serving as a source of inspiration, the selected technologies have been chosen due to practical considerations: These projects are equipped with material and human resources to support the residency. However, a residency proposal may also go beyond the selected technologies or explore the main theme, “Where Haptics meet the Arts”, from a different approach.
