Open Call 2025: spæs residency program
The spæs residency program offers a unique opportunity to advance artistic research, design experimentation, and the creation of methods that emphasize the spatial aesthetics of sound.We invite artists, designers, practitioners, engineers, scholars, and researchers from all disciplines whose work intersects with sound and space to join us. Contributing to the diverse and emerging body of shared knowledge is at the core of the spæs residency program. We encourage residents to focus on the creative process and experience rather than the final product. Additionally, we ask residents to reflect on, document, and share their work publicly in some manner.

The residency takes place in Berlin, Germany. During your time here, you will have access to one of the two studios and will receive a technical introduction to its facilities. Additionally, you will benefit from professional support, which includes mentoring, consultations, training, and technical advice. Depending on the lab's schedule during your residency, you will be invited to participate in communal activities, such as presenting your work at one of the lab's listening sessions.fee structure
