S+T+ARTS Residencies

Since the STARTS initiative was first launched in 2016, artist residencies have been at the heart of many of its projects. In the ongoing dialogue between science, technology and the arts taking place in the residencies, artists bring in new, inquisitive and challenging perspectives on art-driven innovation.
