iii is an artist run, community platform supporting new interdisciplinary practices linking performance, technology and the human senses. Arising from the ArtScience tradition of The Hague, iii strives to balance technological innovation, theoretical reflection and human experience. iii contributes to international developments in the field of Art, Science & Technology, functioning both as a cultural incubator supporting research and creation, and as an agency connecting creators to a broad audience via a wide (inter)national partner network. The interdisciplinary focus of iii stems directly from the teachings of Dick Raaymakers and Frans Evers at the ArtScience Interfaculty in The Hague. The school is characterised both by framing art as a vehicle for human curiosity, as well as for a creative method balancing technical innovations with conceptual thinking and sensory experience.

iii's residency program allows internationally established artists and local emerging artists to work side by side for a period of time in the iii workspace in The Hague. Guest artists are invited to connect with the local community, develop new work and present their work to the local public. iii has 2 different residency types: research residencies and production residencies. The residency program is based on iii’s mission, values, artistic focus and program themes.

Mission
iii promotes artistic work that channels the human inclination for curiosity and invention and which engages directly with the human senses and the human body. iii develops projects that present playful approaches to science and technology within the fields of music, visual art and theatre. While the field of Art and Technology emerged in the 20th century to promote collaboration between specialists working in separate disciplines, today we see practices that are interdisciplinary at the root. No longer engineers working with artists, artists working with scientists, painters working with musicians, but creatives and researchers that navigate between and connect formerly distinct realms. iii aims to:
- Inspire people to develop their own ways of engaging with technology through art
- Share beautiful and unique experiences connecting technology and the senses
- Discover new forms of physicality, sociality and community in a post-digital world
- Encourage community building, participation and social entrepreneurship across disciplinary, geographical and cultural boundaries

Core values
- International Excellence, iii promotes research and creation in the field of Art, Science & Technology at the highest international level
- Talent Development, iii offers a platform where the most dedicated new talents can jump-start their professional art practice
- Cultural Diversity, iii promotes participation from people with all backgrounds in the processes of technological innovation
- Fair Pay, iii provides work that is creatively and financially rewarding, while also advocating on behalf of financially vulnerable groups

Program Themes
1. With “Technological Imaginarium” we reflect on narratives of progress in relation to human
imagination, the desire for new experiences and the need to develop responsible approaches to
innovation.
2. In “Dance of Agency” we look at affinities between scientific and artistic research, as processes
of reciprocal negotiation between humans, machines and the non-human world.
3. In “Meeting at the Margins” we consider the position of our community within society and on
the importance of solidarity and cooperation.
