Artist-in-Residency Programs
The following entries seek to provide interested parties with information about, even examples of, partnerships between art and industry, or art and technology. The list includes active artist-in-residency (AIR) programs and a reflective print account of such a program from the past. The entries are international in scope, including a link to an Australia-based database and the journal of an international society.
MIT Office of the Arts: Student and Artist-in-Residence Programs
http://web.mit.edu/spair/air.html
America’s foremost school of technology has a thriving artist-in-residence program which hosts artists from the disciplines of architecture, dance, theatre, music, literature and the visual arts. Previous artists in residence have included: dancer Gregory Hines, essayist Sarah Vowell, architect I.M. Pei, composer John Zorn and cartoonist Art Spiegelman.
A.R.T.C.O.M.: Artists-in-Residence at Technology Companies of Massachusetts
http://bostoncyberarts.org/air/
A.R.T.C.O.M. matches new media artists with high technology companies for a mutually beneficial exchange of technical and creative resources. During the residency period, artists and company employees are encouraged to discuss their ideas, investigate new ways of seeing and thinking about the art and technology, and possibly explore new contexts for applying these ideas.
Exploratorium: Opportunities for Artists
http://www.exploratorium.edu/about/air.html
The Exploratorium is a museum of art, science, and human perception. The goal of its arts program is to: develop new insights and understandings by incorporating the artistic process with other investigative processes; enhance the role of the museum as a center of cultural investigation; to initiate internal and public discourse about the relationships among art, science, human activities, and topics related to multidisciplinary and multicultural activities; and elucidate, by example, the role that artists can play in modern society.
Institute for Advanced Study Artist-in-Residence Program
http://www.ias.edu/special/air
The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world’s leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. Its artist-in-residence program was established in 1994 to create a musical presence within the Institute community, to have in residence a person whose work could be experienced and appreciated by scholars from all disciplines.
Leonardo

(A general abstract on Leonardo, the journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology, can be found on this wiki under “Institutional Infrastructure.”)
The link on this page points to the online classifieds section of the journal (the print journal also features a classifieds section – print ads may differ from ads online). This section of the website contains information about positions that blend art and technology, making it an invaluable resource for finding employment opportunities - not only artist-in-residencies, but also academic positions that draw on both the arts and the sciences. The ads also provide information on new publications in the field or organizations that sponsor collaboration between the sciences and the arts. At the time this information was posted, the site listed one ad for an artist-in-residence program in “High Definition Storytelling” hosted by the San Francisco Art Institute.
NEA News Room: Examples of Arts in Healthcare Programs
http://www.nea.gov/news/news03/AIHExamples.html
This site, compiled by the National Endowment for the Arts, provides a list of twenty-four examples of Arts in Healthcare programs in the U.S. These programs employ the visual, literary and performing arts, and exist in facilities ranging from children's hospitals to retirement facilities. Rather than attempting to be exhaustive, this list is meant to serve as a cross-section that allows the user to get a sense of the possibilities that Arts in Healthcare has to offer. It is now far from unusual for modern medical facilities to employ some form of the arts. This site provides many cross-country examples of such activity. This section of NEA News Room includes footnotes for each of the twenty-four descriptions, providing links to the web site of each facility, organization, or program.
Synapse
http://www.synapse.net.au/
Synapse is a database, based in Australia, which contains information on exhibitions, residencies, collaborative projects, and publications. It features the work of visual artists and scientists from Australia, North America, and Europe. Synapse provides information about artist displays, includes events announcements, and lists relevant publications whereby artists and scientists may collaborate. In addition, it provides links to over one hundred-forty art and science organizations from around the world. Synapse also contains a discussion list for its affiliates: artists and scientists.
Art and Innovation: The Xerox PARC Artist-in-Residence Program
Edited by Craig Harris.
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press. 1999.
ISBN: 0-262-08275-6
The idea behind Xerox's interdisciplinary Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is simple: if you put creative people in a hothouse setting, innovation will naturally emerge. PARC's Artist-in-Residence Program (PAIR) brings artists who use new media to PARC and pairs them with researchers who often use the same media, though in different contexts. This is radically different from most corporate support of the arts, where there is little intersection between the disciplines. The result is both interesting art and new scientific innovations.
Art and Innovation explores the unique process that grew from this pairing of new media artists and scientists working at the frontier of developing technologies. In addition to discussing specific works created during several long-term residencies, the artists and researchers reveal the similarities and differences in their approaches and perspectives as they engage each other in a search for new methods for communication and creativity. –The MIT Press
