RADAR is the first of Artifice's four systems — the layer where we notice work before it is indexed. Exhibitions worth standing in front of, open calls worth the application, grants worth the paperwork. Kept current here, and gathered into the RADAR section of [ ENTER ] each month.
Two hundred artists, writers, and scientists on what "human" has meant since the machines started answering back. The inaugural show in the museum's new building, and a working bibliography for anyone making art about technology right now. Last days.
Learn moreTen photographs of city life installed in bus shelters across New York, Chicago, and Boston. The gallery is the sidewalk and the audience is everyone waiting for the next bus — public art that does not ask you to walk into a building first.
Learn more3D work from a roster of digital artists, rendered on a decentralized GPU network and thrown across the largest seamless projection in any U.S. cultural building. The old boiler room under Chelsea Market, running as a render farm you can stand inside.
Learn moreRecent XR from the ONX membership — work built around migration, marginalization, and bodies that refuse to stay fixed. The same room that held nodes:ii, where we index most closely.
Learn moreStudio space and a $2,500 honorarium in Red Hook for visual artists; a month of recording studio and $1,000 for musicians. Alumni can also apply for a new fellowship with Onassis ONX — $5,000 and technical support toward a new media work.
Learn moreShort residencies for expanded practice, physical and digital — visual, sound, performance, and curatorial work alike. Quarterly cutoffs; the next one lands July 31.
Learn moreA residency built for the harder media — multichannel audio and video, interactive systems, code, machine learning, AR and VR — ending in a public presentation organized by Harvestworks. The kind of process the Index exists to keep.
Learn moreUp to $50,000 over two years toward artist fees and materials for work made with emerging technology. This cycle is decided in July; watch for the next request for proposals if you missed it, since the structure rarely changes.
Learn moreA six-month program with a $20,000 stipend, half its cohort drawn from outside New York. The 2026 call has closed; this is the one to mark for next spring if you work where art meets a working machine.
Learn moreRADAR runs on intake, candidates, a whitelist, and picks. Most of what we notice never makes it past intake; the few signals that hold up move down the pipeline until the work itself is indexed. If you are making something we should be watching, send it over.
