Artistic Research Residency

This program offers artists from all disciplines the opportunity to collaborate with one or more IRCAM research teams, within the framework of a residency of 2 to 6 months, which may be extended in a partner center. These residencies aim to expand the field of music through the contribution of science and technology.

The benefits of the residency for the artists are multiple:

  • Take time to reflect on your artistic practice
  • Work with researchers to explore a new artistic research approach
  •  Develop or perfect an innovative creative tool
  • Conduct experimental artistic research
  • Produce a prototype of an artifact
  • Compose a sketch for a work or performance
  • Test a configuration, an immersive audio/video device

Winners are selected by the members of our international jury.

Composers, researchers, sound artists, etc. can apply.
