Eyebeam Residency- Eyebeam is inviting artists to explore questions of agency at a moment when AI systems are increasingly acting, making decisions, and carrying out tasks on our behalf. How do we preserve human agency as these systems become more capable of shaping human behavior? How do we assert agency in imagining and building the societies we inhabit? And how might our understanding change if we think about agency as collective, relational, entangled, and more-than-human? Projects might engage AI directly, but they don’t have to. We welcome critical and creative approaches to questions of power, autonomy, technological systems, collective action, human and nonhuman relationships, and the social and material structures through which agency is exercised.
