American Arts Incubator-Austria:
We are very excited to announce the American Arts Incubator Programm hosted by Ars Electronica challenging “Social Inclusion”.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted to an online-only program and launched the open call here: https://americanartsincubator.org/exchange/austria/
The incubator will have a focus on AR and VR on the topic of “Social Inclusion”. The program is composed of an artist talk, workshop/skill training, and project development in small groups supervised by the artist and with a small budget for project developments.
Rashin Fahandej’s “Future of Inclusion Lab” is a series of co-creation workshops with the American Arts Incubator at Ars Electronica that provides technology and resource access to a mixed group of Linz-based creatives, including women and local immigrants. Fahandej’s methods take on the lens of “Art as Ecosystem,” creating a network of collaborations with a multiplicity of narratives that investigate social systems and occupy public sites as a critical discourse. The workshops explore social inclusion by investigating new media literacy and by providing access to cutting edge tools and technology to co-create prototypes for immersive and poetic reflections and experiences.
– Artist Talk: July 2
– Workshop period: July 6 – 17 (afternoon sessions)
– Project development: July 18 – 30 (individual schedule)
After the workshops, participants will be divided into teams and provided small grants to develop project prototypes. Rashin Fahandej will lead teams through the process of developing a proposal, prototyping, and preparing to share their work with the public.
– Presentation on Ars Electronica Home Delivery: July 31 – August 1
