Ananta Application — BUILDING 180

ANANTA RESIDENCY APPLICATION: Thank you for your interest in the Ananta, CIIS and Building 180 Artist-in-Residence Program! This is a call to emerging artists and makers who want to explore the potentials of nature-human communication. We are searching for up to three participants to join in a collaborative venture aiming to nurture and express their artistic visions. Ideal applicants may find themselves pondering questions like: How can Art and Technology give a voice to Nature? How can we listen better to the language of Nature? This six-week rent-free residency is an evolutionary experiment at the intersection of art and technology seeking to explore questions at the wild and wired frontiers of human consciousness. **COVID-19 UPDATE: Thank you for your interest in applying to our artist in residence program. At this time, in line with California Governor Gavin Newsom's ongoing shelter-in-place order, the Ananta team has decided to indefinitely postpone the 2020 residency program. We are still accepting applications with the hope that we are able to move forward at a later date, but at this time it is important to prioritize the safety of our communities by complying with government mandated social distancing. Your application will automatically be considered when we reschedule the residency after the pandemic. You will not need to reapply. Please continue to check this webpage for updates about rescheduling as this crisis develops, and hopefully soon, subsides. We hope you remain safe and healthy through this difficult time.**
