In expanded partnership with Ars Electronica, the VH AWARD\u2019s online residency provides 5 finalists opportunities to work closely with an international network of curators, technologists, artists, and experts.\u00a0Over six months, the program accompanies the finalists as they develop new artistic works.<\/p>\n

The residency combines individual curatorial and technical mentoring, peer exchange, and expert feedback. Artists selected for the new Honorary Mention category will also be invited to join selected components of the program.<\/p>\n

Highlighted by exclusive masterclasses with Hito Steyerl and Daito Manabe, the residency fosters direct dialogue on contemporary media art practices. This comprehensive support enables the finalists to realize exhibition-ready pieces.<\/p>\n

In partnership with leading institutions, finalists\u2019 commissioned works will be presented to international audiences. Starting in 2027, these projects will be showcased across prominent global platforms, including HEK (Basel), the Ars Electronica Festival (Linz), Vision Hall (Yongin), and Singapore Art Week 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n
