BODIES-MACHINES-PUBLICS
BODIES-MACHINES-PUBLICS brings together a “glocal” (global and local) network of cultural and research partners in Switzerland, India and Chile that seek to provide time and space for artists to develop space for research and works exploring the sensitive body and technical mediation in relation to public space. The project is a two-year collaborative initiative between NAVE (Chile), Khoj International Artists’ Association (India), Immersive Arts Space/ZHdK (Zurich, Switzerland) and Kornhausforum (Bern, Switzerland) and is supported by the Pro Helvetia Synergies Program. In Chile, the project also counts with the support of Goethe-Institut Chile and Museo Interactivo Mirador MIM.
We are interested in the contribution of artists who are exploring the relationship between existing power structures using both digital and physical technologies and the possibility of challenging them through artistic-led creation, where the human body lies at the center of the exploration. Proposals for installations, and/or performative interventions indoors and outdoors are particularly welcome.
Please note: This open call is for an Indian artist applying for the first edition of an artistic as part of the BODIES-MACHINES-PUBLICS residency at NAVE (Chile).
Who can apply?
In this first version, 1 artist from India, South America, and Chile will be selected for the realization of an artistic residency at NAVE (Chile).
Artistic languages accepted
This open call seeks artists who investigate any artistic discipline that addresses the possible relationships between bodies and machines, such as media arts, visual arts, dance, theater, sound experimentation, performance, music and all imaginable crossovers. We expect innovative proposals for the intervention of public space that centers on interactions between bodies, machines and technology.
