S+T+ARTS residencies Type a+c

The main objective of ReSilence S+T+ARTS program is to stimulate and support the development of art-driven technologies in the spirit of the broader S+T+ARTS. The focus is on designing the soundscape of future cities through the collaboration of artists, architects, urban designers, scientists, engineers and researchers. ReSilence will support Art-Driven Experiments through Open Calls to individual artist, individual artist intending to collaborate with an SME and artist – SME(s) pair, with a specific budget allocated for this purpose.

This Open Call for STARTS residencies is type a) An individual artist and c) Artist – SME(s) pair

Project proposals should focus on one of four Pilot Use Cases (PUCs): Musical experience design, The New Silence (Sound and mobility), Sound of urban spaces And Full-body sound experience. 

ReSilence S+T+ARTS Residencies are cross-disciplinary residencies of a collaborative nature, and they offer no fixed accommodation. Residents will be expected to achieve their project aims, contribute to the overall project and write a report of their experience as a member of the ReSilence team. Artistic outcomes of the residencies shall be made available for S+T+ARTS exhibitions across Europe for at least a year after the end of the S+T+ARTS residencies.

ReSilence offers 40,000-euro stipends to selected artists and 80,000 euro to SMEs (of which 30% must also go directly to an artist to aid production of the proposed works). The residences and the relation of the artists with the project will be managed by a dedicated team of scientific, artistic, and curatorial experts of the project. The results of the residencies will potentially be exhibited in specific curated exhibitions at main venues and under the artistic direction of a renowned curatorial team.
ReSilence will finance 8-10 proposals
