We’re excited to share moments from the 4th G&A Mamidakis Foundation Research Residency, which concluded recently in Agios Nikolaos, Crete.
This year, we shifted from three years centered on care to a new thematic focus on Art, Science, and Technology (AST).
Guided by the inspiring , , and our nine fellows Liva Dudareva, Dimitris Theocharis, Lida Zacharopoulou, Lefteris Kontopodis, Chloe Pare Anastasiadou, Zoe Diakaki, Lina Mantikou, and Gina Stavropoulou took part in discussions, workshops, activities, and on-site research exploring the intersections of Art, Science, and Technology (AST).
Anne Dippel introduced the concept of “pharmacodesign,” bringing together Art, Science, and Technology to imagine therapeutic media.
Jussi Parikka presented the archaeology of media and led explorations into agricultural sustainability and “agricultural futurisms,” with a focus on Crete and the Mediterranean.
With Androniki Papapetrou and Giannis Andronikidis, the fellows investigated AST collaborations and the futures they might generate.
Finally, Ioannis Mitrou facilitated work in experimental non-linear performance and liminal future scenarios, culminating in the co-creation of an AST collective piece responding to a future residency.
A huge thank you to this year’s amazing group of fellows and to our workshops leaders for their creative sparks.
