ABOUT CIKE
CIKE is an independent organization established by the City of Kosice to utilize the creative cross-sector collaboration among art, culture, science, and creative businesses, through use of digital technologies, for improving the quality of life in the city.
CIKE implements urban transformation led by art and culture.
CIKE operates at the intersection of open innovation, media art, new technologies, business capacity building, research, education, and citizens engagement to deliver solutions, co-designed and co-owned by all, for building resilient, sustainable, inclusive, open, and democratic communities.
ABOUT THE RESIDENCY AT CIKE
This year we are exploring the topic (Behavioural) Change.
We want to understand the ways that technology brings and/or could bring change of human behaviour, how it affects the very notion of our understanding of behavioural norms, expectations, and actions in both physical and digital worlds of our everyday existence.
RESIDENCY PERIOD
We are open for up to two-months long residencies that will take place from August 1st till November 30th, 2023.
