Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce our first Media Art + Technology Residency of 2025 (MATR25) in partnership with TakeHome BIPOC ArtHouse.
Deadline : January 5, 2025 11:59pm
Theme: World Building as Radical Imagination
This edition of MATR is dedicated to supporting BIPOC artists by providing mentorship for the creative development of new work. With a specific focus on projection mapping, artists are invited to explore the theme of “World Building as Radical Imagination”, and to envision and prototype alternate realities that challenge current and conventional boundaries, offering transformative perspectives on society, environment, and human connection.
The Media Art and Technology Residency (MATR) is designed to be a site-specific exploration of VP’s Poolside Gallery and its environs, where artists will develop and install a new work that responds to and utilizes the gallery’s characteristics. MATR specifically supports experimental, independent technology-based works and we welcome submissions that respond to the annual theme.
MATR will be awarded to 2 BIPOC artists or artistic groups – VP & TakeHome will offer two awards of $2000 each for the residency and subsequent exhibition in Poolside Gallery.
