Based at Wigwell Lodge, this two-month residency is for artists working with expanded photography and digital practices. This is an opportunity to research, experiment and expand thinking around photography, technology and innovative approaches to image making and visual culture.
The Photographers’ Gallery explores how photography connects, captivates and radically changes our world today. Since 2012, the Gallery’s extensive work around digital and new technologies has been pioneering in thinking about photography’s relationship to computational culture. The Gallery’s programme includes artist commissions, exhibitions, academic research, and public events, alongside the online platform Unthinking Photography, which explores photography’s increasingly automated and networked life.
The opportunity
Working in partnership with The Ampersand Foundation, you are encouraged to use the residency as an opportunity to test ideas, explore new methodologies and pursue speculative or research-led projects. Your proposal may respond to one or several of the following themes, or use them simply as a point of departure:
- Image-making, celestial fictions and realities
- Institutional archives: including The Photographers’ Gallery and other archives
- Photography’s relationship to computational culture
- Collective knowledge: human and nonhuman
- Deep time
- Ideas around civilisations or the universal
- How Earth’s knowledge can be distilled into 116 images
- How photography travels and spreads through space, time and networks
- Transmissions, long distance communication, radio satellite imagery
