STARTS RESIDENCIES DAYS

Saturday, February 29 - Sunday, March 1st

CENTQUATRE, Paris - FRANCE

The STARTS Residencies Days took place at CENTQUATRE Paris, France to present some of the main achievements of the STARTS Residencies programme and showcase the results of 3 years of art, technology and science collaborations involving more than 100 artists, scientists and engineers.

This final event of the European STARTS Residencies programme presented in multiple forms an experiment at an unprecedented scale: how can art contribute to technological innovation? 45 artists have been selected to produce a work in close collaboration with a research project or an innovative company. Taking advantage of some of the most advanced technologies, art creates a bridge with humans and society by offering a sensitive, participatory and critical experience.

During two days, the audience was invited to discover the different forms art, technology and science projects can take: prototypes, artworks, performances, projections, workshops. Thanks to their residency, the STARTS teams challenged the matter, explored environmental questions, studied social experiments and augmented artistic experiences. While people freely discovered the exhibition and booth spaces, they were invited to attend performances, workshops and roundtables at specific times during the weekend.
