European art practitioners are invited to apply for one of eight fully funded production residencies in Ljubljana, Prague, Tallinn, or online. Organised by Projekt Atol (Slovenia), Goethe-Institut (Germany), Izolyatsia (Ukraine), MeetFactory (Czech Republic), and Tallinn Art Hall (Estonia), this residency explores the intersection of technology, sovereignty, and artistic expression.
About the Residency
The residency focuses on the role of computation and automation in reshaping global political dynamics. As artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making challenge personal and national sovereignties, this programme encourages artists to critically engage with information technologies beyond their functional use.
Participants will develop new or existing artworks that respond to these themes, with final presentations at the hosting institutions and a potential exhibition at Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague.

Artists working in contemporary art from Central and Eastern Europe and the Southern Caucasus are eligible. Preference will be given to proposals that engage with the local realities of the host locations. Applicants must originate from, reside in, or hold the nationality of one of the following countries:
Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine.
What’s Offered?

- A monthly stipend of EUR 1,000

Residencies take place between August and December 2025 for two to three months, depending on the location.
