Initiated by EPFL CDH the AIR program reflects the CDH mission of fostering transdisciplinary encounters and collaborations between artists and EPFL’s scientific community. For its first comprehensive edition, the program is promoting artistic research and experimentation that connects art, humanities, science and technology by supporting up to four artists in residence for three- to four-month residencies at the EPFL.
The EPFL-CDH AiR Program is open to emerging and established Swiss and international artists interested in the area where arts, science, media, and technology intersect. The program allows invited artists to develop interdisciplinary projects and carry out their research in conjunction with scientists and the PhD and masters students at EPFL.
