GWANGJU, SOUTH KOREA
DEADLINE: 3/1/2026
GRANT: 2,500,000 KRW ( General Categories) + 30,000,000 KRW (Kinetic Media)
The intelligence age is rapidly approaching. With the explosive advancement of artificial intelligence and technological innovation, our society is evolving into a highly advanced intelligent system. It is anticipated that this transformation will soon redefine human thought, creativity, and social structures—marking a pivotal turning point in history.
Amidst both optimistic expectations and dystopian concerns, discourse surrounding the intelligence age continues to unfold. Building upon the 2024 exploration of the relationships among artificial intelligence, humans, and non-humans, the ACC CREATORS 2025 Residency aims to critically examine the multifaceted social, cultural, and creative shifts emerging within the data-driven world and the imminent intelligence era.
Through the convergence of art, science, and technology, this year’s residency invites creators to imagine the future of the intelligence age and to explore the possibilities of a new epoch—one that envisions coexistence with a third form of intelligence.

Then, spend one to two weeks in-residence at Touchstone Center for Crafts where artists will create, prototype, and develop a proposal for a site-specific installation for one of Fallingwater’s outdoor terraces, historically named “the pottery terrace” – where the Kaufmann’s once displayed their collection of functional and sculptural ceramic vessels.
