The time has come, our jury has decided.
Thank you for all the outstanding applications.
In short, here are the 3 artists our jury has decided on.

Klemens Hegen - Sounds of Disappearing Landscapes

Sounds of Disappearing Landscapes is an artistic research project that builds on his previous work exploring the relationship between humans, the environment and technology. It is conceived as the starting point for a new series of sculptures. At the core of the project is the question of how our relationship with and perception of the environment change when elements threatened with extinction as a result of human-induced climate change are artificially recreated.

Sofia Talanti - Cyborgs of Adaption under the Capitalocene

Building on her previous work with speculative soft robotics and cyborg figures PSY000T3, this project continues an investigation into how subjectivity is shaped through technological and infrastructural systems. Rather than approaching the cyborg as a futuristic or exceptional hybrid, the project focuses on it as an already existing condition: a form of everyday adaptation to systems of extraction, acceleration, and optimization that structure contemporary life.

Krystina Cyan - Digital Ghosts: Operational Bodies

Digital Ghost: Operational Bodies is an artistic research project investigating how computational systems construct, interpret, and govern contemporary forms of identity. The project explores the growing condition in which individuals are increasingly represented not through lived experience alone, but through continuously generated digital profiles composed of behavioral patterns, predictive models, biometric indicators, and algorithmic classifications.

Congratulations to and ! We're happy to welcome you in Salzburg next year.

Over the next few weeks, we'll introduce the next year's Artists in Residence one by one and share more about their work, so stay tuned!

TALK:
"Songwriting as a System: The Semantic Machine, a Song That Changes with the World Around You"
Tracy Redhead presents The Semantic Machine, a mobile-app artwork and transmutable song that changes according to the listener’s location, time of day, and weather. Developed in collaboration with Florian Thalmann, the work explores how a recorded song can remain authored and recognisable while shifting through data-responsive musical, lyrical, and visual variations. Framed as a speculative artwork about personal data and algorithmic personalisation, the talk considers songwriting as a system: a way of composing songs that are responsive, plural, and shaped by changing contexts.

SPEAKER:
Tracy Redhead is a musician, composer, songwriter, and researcher working across recorded music, interactive technologies, and creative practice. Her work explores how recorded music can become dynamic, adaptive, and context-aware, informed by her practice as a recording artist and her research into songwriting, data, interaction, and transmutable music.

Worum geht’s?
In einem zweitägigen Prozess bauen wir einfache Roboter.
Wir beginnen mit Werkzeugkunde. Im nächsten Schritt werden Drucker und andere Elektrogeräte auf der Suche nach Motoren und Bauteilen zerlegt.
Wir verwenden bewusst keine Standardbauelemente um die Kreativität zu fördern, gerade Wege und die Vergleichbarkeit zu erschweren. Die entstehenden Roboter werden getestet und verbessert. Zusammenhänge und realistische Möglichkeiten werden selbstbestimmt und in der individuellen Geschwindigkeit erforscht.
Dieser Prozess wird von jungen Mentoren und den Veranstaltern unterstützt.

Die teilnehmenden Kinder (8- 11 Jahre) werden Samstag & Sonntag von 13 bis 17 Uhr betreut. Für kleine Snacks und Getränke wird gesorgt.
Jause bitte mitbringen!

Zum Abschluss bringen wir die Roboter zum Tanzen (Danceocon) oder Kämpfen (Hebocon) (Sonntag: 17 Uhr).

TALK:
"The Artwork as a Living System – from Artificial Life to Interactive Art: Creating Human-Computer Interaction Systems"
Since 33 years Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau collaborate to create interactive art installations which combine natural and artificial environments. Their works often use innovative interface designs and human-computer interactions.
In 2022 they presented their big retrospective exhibition called "The Artwork as a Living System", which brings together artworks that display artificial growth, evolution, generative design and A-Life.
In this lecture Christa Sommerer will present selected artworks from the past years as well as most recent projects.

SPEAKER:
Christa Sommerer is an internationally renowned, award winning media artist, researcher and pioneer of interactive art. Together with Laurent Mignonneau she founded the Interface Cultures Department at the University of Art Linz, where she was a professor. Her works were shown in around 400 exhibitions world-wide.

Techno-Z Salzburg Bauteil V, Jakob-Haringer-Straße 8, 5020 Salzburg

It’s our pleasure to welcome our Mays subnetAIR, Lyra Robinson! Wednesday, April 20th, she will present her project and talk about her work.

ABOUT
Lyra Robinson is aiming to develop a new body of work exploring the OpenWorm simulation – an open-source computational model of Caenorhabditis elegans, a 1mm nematode worm with exactly 302 neurons.
This microscopic organism has been fundamental to biological research for over 50 years; every synapse mapped, every cell division documented. It is perhaps the most thoroughly known organism on Earth.
Working with OpenWorm’s neural simulation (c302) and physics engine (Sibernetic), she will create speculative modifications to the worm’s body plan and neural architecture – generating impossible worms, alien morphologies, tentacled variations that push against biological constraints.
What happens when we give C. elegans the body plan of hypothetical organisms on Jupiter’s ice moons? What does a worm look like when its neural topology is rewired for environments that don’t exist?

Lyra Robinson (b. 2002) is a transmedia artist whose work spans performance, installation, and video.
Her practice is concerned with the mechanisms through which bodies are read, understood, and made legible in her interactions with surveillance technologies and data gathering. She explores the possibilities for disrupting established knowledge systems to imagine new forms of embodied agency.

subnetTALK: TINA KULT, T(n)C | Wednesday, APR 22ND | 6 PM
@ HCI – Division for Human-Computer Interaction,
Techno-Z Salzburg Bauteil V, Jakob-Haringer-Straße 8, 5020 Salzburg

TALK:
"Post-archeological strategies in the practice of T(n)C"
The artist duo T(n)C is on a mission to dissolve the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. In their talk Tina Kult will describe their practice of recycling, imaginative construction, and storytelling as they treat roadside remnants and discarded fragments like precious traces of potential.
From these materials, they assemble abstract models and translate them into digital objects, forming intricate landscapes of crumbling cities and sunburned paradises. Through a sci-fi lens they examine how crises shape spaces and bodies.

SPEAKER:
T(n)C was founded in 2017 by Agnes Varnai and Tina Kult. They live and work in Vienna and experiment with a wide range of media, including virtual reality, 3D, installation, sculpture and film. By combining the different disciplines, they are researching immersive experiences to connect the digital and physical levels of realities. T(n)C´s aim is to expand the practices of collective storytelling.
