The Emerging New Media Artists Programme is a carefully structured, one-year initiative that offers an enriching combination of academic engagement, technical mastery, and creative experimentation for young artists working in New Media and Digital Art. With the support of expert mentors and access to high-end facilities, the programme equips participants with the tools and insights needed to push the boundaries of their practice.

This collaborative programme, developed in partnership with Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains, opens doors to cutting-edge resources including advanced production studios and digital technologies. Participants benefit from guidance by internationally recognized artists and scholars who help them refine their concepts, navigate interdisciplinary methods, and develop new modes of expression.

Designed for early-career artists aged 35 or younger, ideally at the conclusion of their graduate or postgraduate studies, the programme fosters deep exploration into critical themes relevant to contemporary digital culture. These include artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented environments, sound design, cinematic experimentation, and digital preservation. The final phase of the programme features a curated public exhibition at DAF, where participants present the work developed during their year of research and creation.
