Digital Earth: Call for research projects

Digital Earth is a decentralised and global 6 months research fellowship for 15 artists and designers to create work that explores the materiality and immateriality of the technological reality we live in.

The fellowship consists of a monthly stipend and production costs, mentorship and other various resources. The final projects will be exhibited in a roaming exhibition.
