This year, for its 22nd edition, Akademie Schloss Solitude is collaborating with the artist group !Mediengruppe Bitnik to curate a call for artworks that challenge extractive digital platforms and AI systems. This edition hat the theme „»Ignore all previous instructions« and will explore how to interrupt dominant technological logics – from ad-tech surveillance to prompt injection vulnerabilities – to imagine alternative structures and communication methods. The program seeks proposals that hijack, glitch, and disrupt rather than comply with existing systems. Six projects will be selected to take part in a four-week, exclusively online residency, starting on September 22, 2026.

Artists of all disciplines may apply. There is no age limit.

Six project proposals will be selected and rewarded with an online residency and a grant of 1,200 euros.
