Open Call: Wild Bits Residency 2026

Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition seeks points of contact between people, technology, and nature. Through this open call, the technological art farm Maajaam is seeking proposals for installations, interventions, or processes to be placed in natural landscapes that explore the human condition in a contemporary technological society. The artworks are placed in nature around Maajaam – to a forest path, on a meadow or a lake or into the swamp. After exhibiting a large-scale outdoor technological art exhibition over the summer of 2024, Wild Bits is transitioning into a triennial format, with the next edition planned for 2027.
