The 'Art ar neart' residency program is intended for artists researching the topics of artificial intelligence, automation of creative work, and cultural technologies. The program provides an opportunity to create and live in Panevėžys for a month, either to initiate new projects or to continue already-started ideas. Artists are invited to reflect on how technology is changing our creative processes, perception of craft, genius, and craftsmanship through their projects. Participants are encouraged to get involved in the activities of Pragiedruliai and to organize open study events.
