Digital Lab Artist-in Residences (DigiLabAiR) is a Creative Europe-funded project that promotes inclusion, participation, and reflection through performance art and live art co-creation processes for new forms of creativity, artistic production, and audience engagement, realising an innovative model in hybrid (digital and live). The partnership involves six European cultural associations with strong territorial knowledge and anchoring in participatory co-creation processes to foster the development of a continuously growing audience. The project focuses on innovation, digitalisation and audience development through the organisation of five Digital Artist-in Residences led by project partners on social issues framed in the SDG Agenda. A key feature of the project is the implementation of PAV Performance Art Video, a digital platform operating with a video-on-demand strategy: video performance artworks produced during the digital artist-in-residences are disseminated online, promoting artists’ visibility and providing financial sustenance. DigiLabAiR aims to build an innovative sustainable model using digital technology to support performance art and live art to respond creatively to the present crises.
The resulting films will be showcased in a public exhibition at the Venice International Performance Art Week on December 15-17, 2023. They become part of the online platform PAV Performance Art Video to be launched on that occasion with the aim to generate further revenue for the artists through an ongoing video-on-demand availability.
