Would you like to have TEA with us? TEA is a residency program empowering artists and curators to work with Technology-Enabled Art. Our studio provides access and guidance on working with state-of-the-art tools of our expertise, such as robotics, generative AI, performance technology, mocap, 360 environments, online games, VR and AR, data visualization, and HCI methods. We provide speaking, networking, and academic opportunities, tied to small one-time grants, as well as exhibition space and promotion support in Hong Kong. Funding for production and stays are limited and subject to discussion. We prioritize mid-career and emergent artists and curators with narrative voices tied to our interaction with technology. Lack of previous experience or access to these technologies will be taken into account by our team when evaluating for potential fit. Our previous residents include:
