Description

Maajaam is a farm for art and tech situated in the south of Estonia. It concentrates on researching, experimenting with, and reflecting on the relationships between people, technology, and nature.

Its project Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition looks for points of contact between people, technology, and nature. Technological art installations consisting of sounds, lights, texts, sculptures, or their online counterparts are placed in natural spaces like forests, fields, swamps, and lakes.

With this open call, the residency centre Maajaam is seeking proposals for installations, interventions, or processes to be installed/performed in landscapes spread out around Maajaam that explore the human condition in contemporary technological society. The artworks should withstand outdoor conditions.

The residency will take place in June and August of 2023 over around three weeks. The produced works will remain in Maajaam and will be displayed at satellite exhibitions in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania until 2025.

In total three to five projects will be selected for the 2023 residency period. The organisers are open to all artists from around the world.
