Basis
With the call AR(t)IBMCP The Artists in Residence Program of the UPV begins, aimed at promoting an interdisciplinary exchange between researchers, scientists and international artists with the UPV.
According to the approach of the IBMCP, The proposed artistic residency will be based on concepts derived from the research conducted at the research center and its goals of improving crops and agriculture through science. The residency will provide a formative and experimental platform for creative thinkers to explore the potential and implications of Plant Biotechnology, working at the interface between Art, Science and Technology.
The resident artist will have a work space at the IBMCP and scientific tutorials in situ through collaborations with researchers from different laboratories, allowing him/her to learn about different research projects, their objectives, the scientific methods used and the experimental approaches employed.
The objective of the residency is the realization, and subsequent dissemination, of an artistic work whose content is related to the research developed at the IBMCP, thus allowing our center to explore new forms of alternative communication with society about our achievements.
The format of such work would be completely open, in accordance with current Contemporary Art standards in areas such as Interactive Art, BioArt, Hybrid Art, AI & Life Sciences, Sound Art, Net Art, Digital Communities, Participatory Art/Crowd Art, Artistic Platform Projects and Art Activism, among others.
We are looking for an innovative transdisciplinary project that explores new perspectives on the role of plant biotechnology in agriculture and extends beyond the fields of art and science, addressing, for example, questions of ethics and social responsibility.
The proposal must be an original work that opens new perspectives in the field of interaction of art, science, technology and society. That said, the proposed work may be completely new or be an extension of work in progress.
