The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab is a follow-up project of the European Digital Art and Science Network and offers international artists working in the field of AI to win a residency at a scientific partner institution and at the Futurelab of Ars Electronica. In this open call round, artists will have the chance to apply for a residency at Leiden Observatory, the Netherlands. The theme of the residency is Astronomy x AI. The universe is much larger, more diverse, dynamic and enigmatic than our ancestors could have imagined when they first gazed at the stars. The captivating and mysterious nature of that sight makes astronomy so endlessly fascinating.

AI Lab (European ARTificial Intelligence Lab) is led and organised by Ars Electronica in collaboration with 13 partners across Europe, including Edinburgh. Experiential AI, a new research group at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, Bayes Centre and Heriot-Watt Robotarium in Edinburgh, is the scientific partner for the AI Lab Lighthouse Residency in 2019/20. The theme for the Artist Residency is Entanglements – fair, moral and transparent AI. The residency is a fully funded opportunity for an artist, designer or artists' collective to create new dimensions in their artistic practice through their encounters with the world of AI. Edinburgh is the world's foremost festival city, and has been a centre for AI research since the early 1960s.
