Production / Research
We develop research, production and exhibition programmes at the intersection of art, science and technology, creating opportunities for new artworks, collaborations and shared knowledge.
Randa Art|Science Residency
Ars Electronica x Institut Ramon Llull x Hac Te x NEWART Foundation
The Randa Art|Science residency enables artistic research through scientific expertise. Its partners invite an artist or collective from Catalonia to develop a new work in collaboration with the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology.
The aim is to support projects that reflect on society’s digital transformation and its impact, culminating in a presentation at the Ars Electronica Festival.
The first Randa residency was awarded to artist Andy Gracie for Massive Binaries.
