WHAT IS THE RESIDENCY ABOUT?

​

We are limited by the physical confines of bodies and boundaries, our ways to create and digest culture and knowledge is changing with the rapid acceleration of digital migration and the new realities of social distancing.

 

Radical Transparency emerged out of our collective pursuit for a flatter structure and more equal ways to distribute knowledge and information. This increasing demand to change the way institutions operate, to adopt a more transparent system that champions accessibility, clarity and accountability; are what is needed for communities to communicate, co-exist and co-create.

 

How do we mitigate such distance created in the process? When technology is brought in to mediate social distance, what do we stand to gain or lose?

 

This Open Call invites you to participate in the process of Radical Transparency, to forge open discussion and communication.

 

JBS is a platform that aims to foster tangible connections between systems. Let's start by talking about how the proposed project or research contributes to your practice. We look forward to "thoughtful disagreements" with you.
