CYENS “Boundary-Crosser” Residency Project

CYENS “Boundary-Crosser” Residency Project

Description

Recent practices at the intersection of arts and technology have started to explore the boundaries and the intersections between the two and to find new ways to speak about the artistic work produced.

In this spirit, the aim of the “Boundary-Crosser” residency project is to provide an opportunity for artists to explore creative intersections and processes with technologists. In practice what this means is that artists will be hosted by one of the 8 participating CYENS Centre of Excellence Labs and will generate artistic work, during and after their time of residency.

At the heart of Nicosia’s historic centre, the CYENS Centre of Excellence is a new and vibrant entity, connecting academic research with cutting-edge tech developments. The insertion of artists, through processes of Creative Placemaking, into the work of CYENS’ research groups aims to open new possibilities for creativity, engagement and dialogue.

Outcome

Create Placemaking as practice: the selected artists will have regular meetings with research group members to exchange views and discuss the possibilities of their project. Artists are responsible for producing their own work. Moreover, selected artists will also participate in a reflective process of research-oriented dialogue with the Project Curator. These meetings will be regular and communicated at the beginning of the residency.

Mature outcomes of the residency can be presented as work-in-progress or finished work at the WIP Arts & Technology Festival of CYENS Centre of Excellence in 2023 or 2024. Works can also be presented in other festivals or exhibitions, with the possibility for CYENS to partially support the participation.

Additionally, artists-in-residency will deliver at least one workshop or talk relating to their practice and area of expertise.

Studio Information

You will work at the space of CYENS and have access to CYENS facilities in Nicosia.

Technical Information

Residency to be carried out between September 15, 2023, and February 15th, 2024.
