GRIN: Introducing the selected artists of GRIN Open Call
In the context of GRIN, STARTS residencies involve artists being part of critical reflection and solution development for Europe’s digital and ecological transition. The aim of the residencies is to produce an art-driven experiment of stimulating the uptake of digital technologies, either by EU citizens and companies, to address social, business and sustainability challenges. Outcomes of the residencies should represent a technical demonstrator of the technology proposed, coupled with the artistic demonstrator of the novel usage scenario proposed by the artist.
Today, GRIN is thrilled to announce the results of its Open Call, spread across 5 regions. We received a total of 151 applications of which 12 were successfully selected.
Among numerous inspiring applications, the GRIN project partners with the support of 16 external evaluators had the challenging task of choosing twelve extraordinary projects. The selected projects demonstrate a profound commitment to sustainable practices and technological approaches, showcasing the potential for art and technology to shape a better future.
