The Art of Tomorrow | 2023 residency program is a free training initiative of the Museum of Tomorrow and the Ling Institute, carried out by the Laboratory of Activities of Tomorrow (LAA) with sponsorship from Santander. Focused on the intersection between art and technology, the program was structured in two complementary stages. The first, online and open to the public, consisted of the Cycle of Investigative Encounters, composed of six thematic modules (Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Music and Sound Narratives, Audiovisual, Design and New Media) that promoted exchanges and reflections with 20 prominent creative professionals.
The second stage consisted of an in-person artistic residency, held in July 2023 at the Laboratory of Activities of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro. Selection for this phase was open to participants who completed at least two modules of the online cycle, who could submit original projects to compete for one of the four places. The central objective of the residency was to offer a practical creative experience, providing tools and an environment conducive to the development of prototypes and experiments that engaged with the discussions promoted during the training.
Under the curatorship of visual artist Batman Zavareze, the program sought to stimulate organic exchanges and new perspectives on contemporary artistic production. The residency aimed not only at technical training, but above all at immersion in a collaborative process that connected different languages and knowledge, resulting in projects that explored the creative potential of technology. The four selected projects were granted this immersion to develop works inspired by the intersection between the artistic, scientific, and technological universes.
The Art of Tomorrow Residency is part of the Art of Tomorrow program, an initiative of the Museum of Tomorrow's Activities Laboratory in partnership with the Instituto Ling, with the objective of fostering multidisciplinary, collaborative, innovative, integrated, and creative projects at the intersection of art and technology.
