Fellowships for a research project in the thematic area of art, technology, and society

The funding programme Medienkunstfellows – Fellowships for a research project in the thematic area of art, technology, and society aims to bring impulses and approaches from other regions, countries and continents to North Rhine-Westphalia and thus establish new links with international discourses and practices of media art & digital culture. The call for projects, which was published for the first time in January 2021, was specifically aimed at institutions and independent initiatives that deal artistically and culturally with technological change and its effects on society and use the wide range of media art and digital culture in their methodology.

The programme, which funds various artistic or scientific research projects with a total volume of 240,000 euros (2021-2023), allows an in-depth examination of the effects of technological and media change on society. Institutions and independent initiatives could apply for two funding rounds in 2021 and 2022 together with their fellow.

The submission deadline for the Medienkunstfellows is closed. If you would like to find out more about the Medienkunstfellow, you are welcome to take a look at the funding page of the medienwerk.nrw office linked here:
