Promoted through a free, open-call, this Fellowship is a creative laboratory where artists receive all necessary resources to execute their creative vision and bring their work to life. Incubating new and existing projects, in addition to direct funding through artist fees, Fellows are offered access to physical production spaces and the technical infrastructure needed to realize ambitious projects. This laboratory fosters an environment where artists, scientists, and technologists can experiment, refine their ideas, and push creative boundaries through creative workshops, peer critiques, and preview showcases. By offering dramaturgical guidance, production expertise, and access to collaborative networks, we help shape ambitious, interdisciplinary works from concept to realization.

“It was because of MAXmachina that all this [Princeton Fellowship, BAM premiere] happened. You believed in us early and supported us on this journey when we didn’t know anything yet about the science or technology.”

Drinking Brecht
National Sawdust, Nov 23, 2023
Drinking Brecht by Sister Sylvester is a genetically modified cocktail party. With live music and using DNA from a hat worn – and never washed – by the actors in Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble, Sister Sylvester presents a bio-art cabaret where the work takes place in the audience’s small intestine. A thorough celebration of thieves, biohackers, and cannibals, Good Genes sheds worn out scientific narrative and turns them into a science for the people.
