Residency dates: Interested artists must be in Montreal and available for a period of 8 weeks between August 2021 and March 2022.
Residency fee of $1,350 CAD offered by Ada X, plus a $1,000 CAD honorarium from Algora Lab, and a production budget.
As part of our programming beyond exhibitions and events, Ada X offers production residencies. This call is for the selection of two local residency projects in 2021-2022.
This year Ada X is partnering with Algora Lab, an interdisciplinary laboratory developing discourse around the ethics of artificial intelligence. To take advantage of this partnership, as well as Ada X’s place in the local cultural ecosystem, we are looking for Greater Montreal-based projects which approach AI from a Slow Tech perspective.
Montreal has established itself in recent years as a significant location for the field of artificial intelligence. The impacts of Montréal’s AI research hub and the industry activated around it are felt not only in the local economy, but also in the knowledge sector, in real estate, and in urban planning, in addition to having influence on a global scale.
We invite artists to draw inspiration from the ethical concerns, theories, and technologies emerging in artificial intelligence. We propose this residency as an opportunity to question the uses and deployments of AI, addressing the diverse issues raised by its advances, through innovative, generous, and critical artistic exploration.
