Stage IX is an artistic research project for artists operating at the intersection of art and technology. Stage IX is now calling for artists who are looking to push boundaries and shape the future of immersive experiences (IX) within a framework of shared learning. Supported by an ecosystem of curators, makers, producers, educators, researchers and technologists, residents gain access to dedicated time, tools, facilities and venues to test their ideas within an environment that prioritises process over predetermined outcomes.

Artistic inquiry and community-building are at the core of the programme. Residents participate in collective activities, including introductory workshops, sprints in advanced technical facilities, peer-to-peer research exchange and public-facing moments of dialogue. The residency program is organised in two cycles in 2026 and 2027, each cycle spans 8–10 months and includes an R&D budget and stipend per each artist.

For the 2026 Open Call, Stage IX will select two emerging artists (2–4 years of experience) and one established artist (5+ years of experience).
