MEDIA AiR 2004 Awarded Residencies

MEDIA AiR is a residency program dedicated for media artists. The program provides possibilities for artists to develop diverse media art projects. Each residency is realised in collaboration with a local organisation with expertise in certain areas of media art. The organisations provide the technical facilities for the artist and help the artist’s work with their local contacts and know-how.

MEDIA AiR is a NIFCA program designed by Juha Huuskonen.
