POLIEDRO
Artist ResidencyVR & New Media, 2021
Poliedro artistic residency program will bring together emerging non-digital artists, art researchers, new-media artists and VR developers to facilitate their collaboration and mutual growth.
This residency program will provide a series of online talks, webinars and workshops about Art + Technology, NFTs, augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR), from the standpoint of visual arts and art research, promoting dialogue and collaboration.
One of the main goals of this online art residency is to give opportunity for non-digital artists to create VR art projects in collaboration with VR developers/builders, facilitating the encounter between traditional media art and new-media art.
The program will include academic art researchers and professional curators presentations with possible challenges and visions for the future of art (its ecosystem, market, production, institutions). Part of this program will be dedicated to artistic creation.
