Organizer Information

The 2026 Ambivalences Call for Projects is coordinated by three interregional hubs in France: Brittany, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire, supporting artistic creation in digital environments. The program is managed by Electroni[k] (Brittany), Oblique/s and Station Mir (Normandy), and Stereolux (Pays de la Loire), in partnership with the DRAC regional directorates. Ambivalences is part of a national initiative led by the French Ministry of Culture to structure Regional Centres for Artistic Creation in a Digital Environment, fostering interregional collaboration, hybrid digital art, and innovative artistic practices.

Title & Description

Ambivalences 2026 – Interregional Digital Arts Creation Programme
This call invites professional artists or collectives based in Europe to submit innovative projects that explore digital environments and hybrid forms of artistic writing, aesthetics, or practices. The 2026 edition focuses on projects that experiment with artificial intelligence, digital tools, or interdisciplinary formats. Selected artists will benefit from co-production support, technical and artistic mentoring, and opportunities to disseminate their work across Brittany, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire from 2027. Projects must be in the writing or prototyping stage, with production not yet underway, and demonstrate a connection to at least one of the three regions through collaboration, residencies, or local resources.
