Connected Minds by Sensorium at York University

Toronto, Canada

The Connected Minds Artist-in-Residence program, hosted by Sensorium at York University, offers a unique opportunity for artists to engage with the intersection of media arts, performance, and digital culture. This residency supports artist-researchers from equity-deserving groups to explore the social impacts of emerging technologies. Participants will develop research-creation experiments, hold workshops and talks, and produce a public exhibition. The residency emphasizes collaboration with students and faculty, fostering interdisciplinary exchanges across neuroscience, intelligent technologies, and society. The program provides a stipend, a research budget, and access to extensive resources and facilities at York University. Artists are expected to be on-site regularly and contribute to the Connected Minds community through various engagements. The residency can be six months or one year, depending on the project, and is open to artists worldwide.
