Selected artists will develop and present new projects that explore how technology can deepen our understanding of the world, provoke new ideas, and ignite the imagination. Each artist will receive a $5,000 commission — consisting of a $2,000 artist fee and $3,000 allocated for T.E.A.M. Lab activities, including research, production, programming, and prototyping — to produce a new work integrating technology, sound, and visual art. Residencies take place at Harvestworks’ Technology, Engineering, Art and Music Lab (T.E.A.M.) in New York City — a creative hub dedicated to advancing experimental art forms that merge disciplines, challenge boundaries, and inspire innovation.
listen with Fixed Media Works for Listening Session Sonic Nomads is a sound art festival curated by Transients, focusing on field recording and deep listening. The festival explores various sonic practices that emerge between place, movement, documentation, and listening, introducing sound works and listening experiences based on field recording. The 2026 edition of Sonic Nomads will take place under the theme listen with. Who do we listen with? What do we listen with? In what kind of space do we listen? Listening with others, with places, with memories, or with non-human presences — the interpretation is open to each artist. Sonic Nomads 2026 will take place from October 22 to 25, 2026, at SNU Power Plant, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. We are looking for fixed media sound works based on field recording, which propose unique ways of listening, recording, and sensing the world.

As part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2026, Sonic Saturday invites submissions of fixed media works for presentation in our MEDIUM SONORUM concert and Listening Room sessions. This year’s theme, “Audible Futures, Silent Decisions”, invites works that explore how futures are shaped through sonic practices and the decisions embedded within them. Rather than imagining the future as something distant, we consider how it is already unfolding through choices: what is made audible, what is simulated, what is enhanced, and what is left aside. Listening becomes a site where realities are constructed and negotiated. In digital and spatial sound practices, artists operate within systems that increasingly mediate and automate these processes. We are interested in works that engage with these conditions, questioning how sonic environments can function as spaces for reflection, experimentation, and the shaping of possible futures.
The CultureHub Residency Program supports artists experimenting with emerging technologies in search of new artistic forms.

Three residents will receive one-two weeks of time, space, technical support, and presentation opportunities in the LA studio. Projects can take advantage of CultureHub LA’s 5:1 Kalio Audio surround system, modular studio configuration, and flexible exhibition space. We encourage proposals for immersive audio environments, installations, experimental spatial design, tech-infused textiles/sculpture, and sensory/physical exploration.
