Signal Culture is announcing an open call for Artist, Toolmaker, and Researcher Residencies for the first time since 2020. Signal Culture is an experimental media arts organization, focusing on real time analog and digital processes.We’ve moved to Loveland, Colorado and have been testing our facilities - now we’re ready and excited to welcome residents from around the world again!
Founded in 2012, Signal Culture is an environment where innovative artists, toolmakers, curators, critics, and art historians who are contributing to the field of experimental media art will have time and space to make new work and to interact with one another. We have welcomed over 450 residents from all over the US and about 25 countries. In addition to the residency program, we organize public exhibitions and produce resources for researchers and practitioners in the field of experimental media art as a way to expand support beyond the residency.

Collaborations
Each collaborator will need to apply with their own form
Residents With Families
We offer the option of residencies as short as a week to accommodate the fact that many residents have jobs, families, and other restrictions on their available time. Often, residents find getting away from day to day responsibilities to be a benefit of residencies, however we will provide a limited number of spaces for residents to bring families with them. We do not have baby gates, high chairs, extra beds, etc. You will be solely responsible for the safety and supervision of any children and for ensuring that they do not cause any damage or interfere with other residents. You are also responsible for keeping common areas clean and free of clutter.
