Piksel. Residency Program
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The application period for the "2022 - 2023 Piksel.New Media Residency Program" has been completed.
The next application period for the Piksel. New Media Residency Program will start on December 2023.
We can cover the Piksel.New Media Residency Program under three headings:
1
NETWORKS
We believe that networks will replace current hierarchical structures and by forming the right connections, we will not only drive innovation but also reduce inequality by democratizing information. As such, we view "Piksel." as an opportunity for talented individuals from different countries and cities to come together and collectively transform the world of art.
Under this program, we encourage participants to build a community both during their education and beyond. Our goal is to form an alumni club to provide a platform for ongoing communication, collaboration, and joint production. This will help ensure that participants continue to support each other long after their education has ended.
2
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
During these sessions, we will cover various software, hardware, and techniques, although we will not provide specific instruction on how to use individual programs. However, for those interested in specializing in a particular program, we will provide information on how to access resources for learning. Throughout the course, we will invite experts and renowned artists from diverse fields such as digital painting, special effects, generative art, interactive art, 3D modeling, code and web art, game design etc., to share their experiences and insights in their respective fields.
3
SCHOLARSHIP
One of the primary objectives of "Piksel." is to provide financial assistance to the participating artists during the creation of their new media artworks. To achieve this, we offer a scholarship of 100,000₺ to each young artist involved in the program for a period of one year.
OUTCOMES
We aim to provide the participants of the Artist Residency Program with education that will guide them through developing their vision of digital art or expanding their already-existing vision. From the definition of new media art, coding, 3D software to animation, we are designing a comprehensive curriculum where education will cover various significant topics.
