Transition to 8 – Artists Wanted! 🌍✨
Are you a visual, sound, or digital artist passionate about environmental issues? Do you have experience in working with data? Join “Transition to 8: European Societies in Flux” (TT8), an innovative project merging social sciences, technology, and contemporary art to raise awareness about air pollution’s impact on European communities.
🎨 How does it work?
Six artists will be selected to create original digital or sound works using data such as heart rate, body temperature, and skin conductance, collected during participatory activities like bodystorming and sociodrama, ones that capture communities’ emotional and biometric responses to pressing social issues like air pollution.
📊 The data, analysed by computer and social scientists, will be then transformed into digital moodboards that include: raw data,visuals, text, graphs, data sonifications, and visualisations. Artists will then utilise these moodboards to create original artworks.
🖼️ Supported by Creative Europe, TT8 will run until October 2026, with events in Eleusis (Greece), Rennes (France), Ljubljana (Slovenia), and a final showcase in Yerevan (Armenia). Artworks will also be presented at major festivals like Sonica (Slovenia) and Maintenant (France).
👩🎨 What’s in it for artists?
- Hybrid residencies between May and July 2025:
- 1 week of digital meetings with artists and partners.
- 2 weeks of physical residency in a host city (Eleusis, Rennes, or Ljubljana).
- 1 week of digital support after.
- Opportunities to engage with local communities through workshops and open studios.
- Final artworks showcased in 2-4 locations, including the culminating event in Armenia.
