Realities in Transition 2 – Unwritten Worlds continues its international residency programme with a second open call aimed at artists and creatives interested in exploring the possibilities of extended realities from a critical and collaborative perspective.
The programme will support 5 rounds of international collaborative residencies, each unfolding digitally and in-person over six months and consisting of successive phases of exploration, production, and testing.
The residencies are hosted by international institutions and with focus on a specific topic and artistic medium:
#1 V2_ (Róterdam)
#2 MEET (Milán)
#3 L.E.V Festival (Gijón/Madrid)
#4 Beta Festival (Dublín)
#5 Chroniques (Marsella)
#2. TELEPRESENCE IN THE DIGITAL SPACE WITH MEET_
Hosted by MEET (Milan, Italy), this residency focuses on telepresence and the emerging ways we inhabit digital space. At a time when presence is no longer bound to the physical body, participants are invited to reflect on how identity expands, duplicates itself, and is translated into data.
Conceived as a shared space for research and experimentation, the residency explores what it means to be present when the physical body encounters its digital double. Working with motion capture technologies and immersive tools, participants will develop a collective artwork that investigates new forms of interaction, perception, and remote coexistence.
As with the other residencies in the programme, three selected artists will collaborate with a creative technologist over a six-month hybrid residency, combining online sessions with an on-site stay at MEET in Milan. The programme brings together research, production, mentoring, and experimentation, culminating in the public presentation of the work developed during the residency.
