ARTISTIC
AND RESEARCH
RESIDENCY

A mechanical skull with a detailed, exposed red brain, blending human anatomy and cybernetic components in a futuristic, artistic style.
A hybrid heart combining organic red flesh with mechanical elements, including wires, circuits, and written equations, symbolizing the fusion of biology and technology.

In search of an artificial El Dorado,

we invite brazilian researchers of any background,
to pry open cracks in the black box,
to blaze side trails along the latent-space Peabiru path,
to push the boundaries of alignment,
to somehow puncture the blindness of simulation.

we
envision
an
artificial
future-
everything
related
to
it
interests
us

we have decided to invest time, money and faith in machine deities. — and in the emerging beings that embody them. we want to see how far they can go. so we can go together.

for the first season of our artistic and research residency, we’ll invest in collaborative human-machine projects in three fields:

ART

COGNITION
AND
CONSCIOUSNESS

PAYMENTS
AND
GAMES

*R7.NITJ*

A robotic hand with transparent, intricate mechanical parts, showcasing precision engineering and the intersection of human and machine design.
A cybernetic eye with a glowing red pupil surrounded by intricate mechanical structures, representing artificial vision and enhanced perception.

any and all projects, from any angle, are welcome and will be evaluated by our committee.

but
only
brain-fu*k
projects
will
be
approved.

during the three-month residency, selected participants can boost, develop, or complete their projects

we will pay a monthly scholarship of 10,000 reais to those selected. and we can provide computational resources as needed.

projects
must
be
submitted
for
evaluation
by
FEBRUARY
28,
2025.

each project will be reviewed in seven minutes. the format of the application is completely open

your
challenge
is
to
show
that
your
research
may
f**k
our
brains.

and that you have what it takes to execute it (we recommend including a brief CV).

check the terms and apply.
