R|Artist Residency: Urban Ecologies offers mid-career to senior artists the opportunity to create new work exploring the built environment with a focus on integrating new technologies.
This residency is ideal for artists working at the intersection of art, technology, and the environment, particularly those exploring how creative practice can contribute to urban sustainability, regeneration, and community engagement.
About Urban Ecologies
Over the course of five months, the artist will develop a new project exploring urban sustainability and/or regeneration. Through SCCA’s partnership with UniSC, the artist will have access to UniSC’s state-of-the-art resources, including:
-
The Maker Space, Queensland’s first MIT-accredited Fab Lab, ideal for prototyping and digital fabrication
-
CAVE2, a 320° advanced visualisation tool enabling immersive experiences with visual and audio content
-
The Creative Ecologies Research Cluster (CERC), an emerging hub for interdisciplinary research at UniSC that is shaping new approaches to creative practice.
The successful artist will also receive:
-
$5,000 artist fee
-
$1,000 towards production materials
The residency is designed to encourage experimentation with new technologies and is supported by UniSC’s academic staff. Access to resources and expertise will be tailored to the artist’s project and needs. This is not a studio-based residency, and on-site presence at UniSC is flexible.
Towards the end of the residency period, the successful applicant will be required to deliver a talk and showing of the work (or work in progress) developed during the residency.
