Digital Live Artists-in-Residence

ongoing

The Digital Live Artists-in-Residence (DigiLiveAiR) project promotes inclusion, diversity, and participation through performance art and Live art based on international co-creation processes. It focuses on innovation by introducing new models of hybrid artistic residencies and transferring methodologies that foster inclusive, sustainable, and digitally enabled performance practices. (AiR) programs, encompassing both digital (online) and in-person attendance. The project is designed to strengthen the capacity for innovation in Europe’s cultural and creative sectors (CCS). Co-creative activities are an integral part of artistic experiences in the performance and live arts, as audiences engage in cognitive and imaginary practices to make sense of their cultural products and experiences. Particularly problematic is that working opportunities in the performing arts sector are often temporary and financially precarious. DigiLiveAir has been conceived by a consortium of partner associations from Germany, Georgia, Italy, the Netherlands, and Ukraine to respond to this emergency and create new income prospects for emerging European performance and Live art artists. In the 13 months of activity, the consortium will organise 4 Digital AiRs (online) - performance and Live art artists co-creatively produce digital performance artworks around the SDGs agenda, 1 Co-Creation AiRs (live) - performance and Live art artists gather to produce new live performances socially relevant; 1 Live art events and exhibitions showcasing the works produced during the AiRs programs. A key feature of the project is the development and implementation of an upgraded, function-focused, AI-driven, and more accessible version of the PAV digital platform to optimise the platform's functionality and productivity, to promote artists’ visibility and provide them financial sustenance, alongside actions to increase the impact area (users/audience).
