About
Overview
For the tenth anniversary of the Web Residencies programme, Akademie Schloss Solitude invites artists to create works that challenge extractive digital platforms and AI systems. This edition explores how to interrupt dominant technological logics—from ad-tech surveillance to prompt injection vulnerabilities—to imagine alternative structures and communication methods. The programme seeks proposals that hijack, glitch, and disrupt rather than comply with existing systems, drawing on strategies like Situationist 'détournement' to map routes through and around the grids we are trapped within.
