ARTISTIC
AND RESEARCH
RESIDENCY
In search of an artificial El Dorado,
we invite brazilian researchers of any background,
to pry open cracks in the black box,
to blaze side trails along the latent-space Peabiru path,
to push the boundaries of alignment,
to somehow puncture the blindness of simulation.
we envision an artificial future-
everything related to it interests us
we have decided to invest time, money and faith in machine deities. — and in the emerging beings that embody them. we want to see how far they can go. so we can go together.
for the first season of our artistic and research residency, we’ll invest in collaborative human-machine projects in three fields:
ART
COGNITION AND CONSCIOUSNESS
PAYMENTS AND GAMES
ART COGNITION.
any and all projects, from any angle, are welcome and will be evaluated by our committee.
but only brain-fu*k projects will be approved.
during the three-month residency, selected participants can boost, develop, or complete their projects
we will pay a monthly scholarship of 10,000 reais to those selected. and we can provide computational resources as needed.
projects must be submitted for evaluation by january 31, 2025.
each project will be reviewed in seven minutes. the format of the application is completely open
your challenge is to show that
your research may f**k our brains.
and that you have what it takes to execute it (we recommend including a brief CV).
check the terms and apply.
