Technische Universität Dresden Logo
Technische Universität Dresden Logo

DEADLINE: 1.12.2023

Socio-technical and Cultural Syntheses of New Realities. Guiding theme: Data‹ ›Worlds

By this term, we understand socio-technical and cultural mediations of reality based on data, which significantly shape social life. Data‹ ›Worlds aims to research society and culture as a synthetic reality. This includes the historical view of past situations of radical change and the analysis of contemporary societies after the so-called digitalization, which has led to new realities that significantly depend on the availability of data. Data themselves exert an influence on the world they describe, bringing about their own dynamics and problems. Therefore, an adequate understanding of the interaction between data and our reality is urgently needed, especially about currently pressing social challenges and questions revolving around nature and the environment, the economy, law and politics, as well as art, culture, and education.

The Lab's residency programme offers committed and internationally active artists or artist groups the unique opportunity to conduct artistic research on "Data<-> Worlds". It addresses artists or artist groups from the fields of media art, conceptual art, performance, etc. During the residency, the artist or artist groups are part of TUD's scientific community of researchers and students and may draw on resources for artistic and creative productions, both of TUD and of our cooperation partners.

APPLY NOW :)

REWARDS: Exhibition, Funding, Production, Publication;

The Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden includes:

  • A studio at TU Dresden
  • Assistance finding accommodation
  • A stipend of € 3,000.00 (net) a month for 6 months
