Artists and Scientists in Residence at the Ligeti Center

The “Artists and Scientists in Residence” program at ligeti center is entering its third round.   

We invite artists and scientists to realize an interdisciplinary artistic-scientific project at ligeti center from March to mid-April 2025. In close cooperation with the labs situated at the ligeti center, the focus will be placed on experimental work with technologies developed at the ligeti center. 

On November 26 at 5:30 pm (CET), we will offer an info call via Zoom in which the technologies will be briefly presented, and questions about the residency can be asked.   

The Technologies:
1. Impulse Pattern Formation (IPF)
2. Der Hexenkessel (witch’s cauldron)
3. The record-o-mat
4. Moving Sound Sources

Furthermore, it is still possible to apply freely for a sound or multimedia project. In the decision-making process, the jury will consider the innovation of the project proposal, the potential for collaboration with the various labs of the ligeti center, and the professional competence of the applicants. We only accept applications from individuals. Residents are expected to give a talk and present their work and results at the end of the term.
