open call
During three Open Calls, we select startup ideas and creative projects to participate in the MediaFutures support programme.
Each call has three tracks:
Track 1
Artists for Media
For artists with an innovative artwork concept and production process that critically and materially explore data and technology to question and comment on its impact on individuals and society. Artists participate in a six-month Residency programme.
Track 2
Startups for Citizens
For startups to build a product or service that encourages novel, more meaningful ways to engage with media content. They will participate in a six-month Accelerator programme.
Track 3
Startup meets Artist
For teams of startups and artists to collaboratively develop new concepts of data technology and the arts.
They take part in a six-month mixed Residency and Accelerator programme.
