Short Description

The Processing Foundation Fellowship Program proudly announces its return for 2025, featuring an invigorating theme: Data Storytelling. There are two types of program:

  • Fully-Remote Processing Foundation Fellowships
  • In-Person Extended Realities Fellowship in Los Angeles, California

Eligibility

We invite individuals and collectives working across creative coding, interactive fiction, time-based media, and live performances to propose artistic or technical projects that explore innovative approaches to telling stories through data.

Focus Area

We seek interdisciplinary projects that amplify, challenge, or build upon existing or real-time data to tell compelling stories. In 2025, we are thrilled to offer two fully remote Processing Foundation Fellowships and one in-person Extended Realities Fellowship in Los Angeles, California.

Processing Foundation Fellowships (Remote)

We welcome collaborations between coders, artists, designers, storytellers, scientists, and initiatives that activate cultural spaces and community archives.

As a Processing Foundation Fellow:

  • You can be based anywhere in the world.
  • You will participate in the fully remote fellowship program.
  • You will be supported through mentorship, workshops, and community engagement opportunities.

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this year’s fellowship, we are excited to support collective/collaborative projects in addition to individual proposals.
