Art meets Human-Computer Interaction

subnet, a media art initiative based in Salzburg, invites applications for three artist-in-residence / micro-grant positions in 2026, in collaboration with the Division for Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Salzburg.

About the residency

subnetAIR offers a grant to artists  and the opportunity to develop projects in dialogue with researchers at the Center for Human-Computer Interaction. Residents gain access to technical infrastructure, tools, expertise, and a growing network at the intersection of art, technology, and research.

We aim to provide a focused yet relaxed environment that supports experimentation, exchange, and process-oriented work.
