Ananta + CIIS + Building 180 Past Artist-in-Residence
Ananta Residence in Boulder Creek, CA
The Ananta residency focused on the intersection of art, consciousness, and technology. The program took place on a low hill amidst the Santa Cruz Mountains in Boulder Creek, California, in a rainforest of redwood trees—the largest and most ancient trees on Earth.
The residency influenced artists’ work by encouraging active engagement with the land. Participants had the opportunity to work undisturbed in an environment that enabled them to focus their full attention on their practice.
This residency emerged through a partnership between Ananta, Building 180, and the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness graduate program at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
