Residency Experience Summary
Application Information
As a sustainable platform for experimental projects at the intersection of art and technology, the ACC CREATORS Residency marks its 11th edition this year, building on its ongoing commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration and experimental artistic production.
The theme of this edition, Speculative Communities, examines designed and technologically mediated forms of community, addressing their potential and limitations in current and speculative social conditions.
Under this theme, the ACC CREATORS 2026 Residency Open Call invites projects that engage with whether communities can continue to exist under such conditions, how they might take new shapes, and whether algorithms, non-human agents, and data can become integral participants in communal life.
