Following the yearly collaboration between the OSSO Collective and School of Arts — UCP, the third New Media Art Residency, first of the 24/25 school year, will take place between the  11th and 16th of November 2024.

Benifiting from the mutual practical alignment of the two entities, this residency encompasses a transdisciplinary platform devoted to the incitement of transversal artistic practices and to the objects emerging from such exploratory procedures. Surpassing any sort of media specificity or disciplinary structuring, the residency takes as defining vectors the playful mobility across material and symbolic structures; the non-hierarchical weaving of visual, aural, haptic and discursive approaches; and, the broad framing of technology as an additive spectrum of tools committed to both freedom and autonomy.

OSSO is a collective structure that since 2012 has been developing its activity around support for artistic creation, programming and training, predominantly transdisciplinary, in collaboration with other artists and collectives, supported by public and private partnerships. Its projects, which are markedly experimental, seek to explore artistic practices in conjunction with critical, aesthetic and political thinking that takes into account the specificity of the contexts and territories in which they are inserted. She is currently working on an Artist Residency project in the village of São Gregório, in Caldas da Rainha.
