Artist residency programme
A multidisciplinary, virtual residency bringing together an international cohort of artists and technologists.
October - December 2021
Immersive Assembly is a programme for artists and technologists to learn, share, network and play. The cohort will consist of 9 emerging practitioners from Argentina, China, Ghana, Mexico, United Kingdom and Zimbabwe, curated in partnership with our project partners, British Council and Goldsmiths, University of London. The 3 month residency programme will support the artists in developing new ideas for immersive experiences that invite us to collectively share in rituals and connections.
This residency programme will include a series of sessions hosted by leading UK digital artists in Mediale’s community, including art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast, artist and film-maker Kit Monkman, and Alexa Pollmann, director of performance design collective Peut-Porter. These sessions will inspire the group to further explore the theme of rituals and connection before arriving at their final idea, which they will pitch to a panel of experts from across the immersive arts industry in December.
