About the Residency

At the crossroads of imagination and innovation, the Connected Minds Artist-in-Residence program, in collaboration with Sensorium: Centre for Digital Art and Technology, empowers visionary creators to reshape how we perceive and interact with technology. This initiative invites artists to delve into the ethical and social dimensions of emerging technologies, pushing boundaries through interdisciplinary research, community engagement, and bold artistic experimentation. With access to cutting-edge research spaces, dynamic collaborations with scholars and students, and the resources to produce transformative work, Artists-in-Residence play a vital role in advancing Connected Minds' mission: building a healthier, more just society through equitable and inclusive technological innovation.
