Migros Culture Percentage awards 150,000 Swiss francs for new cultural impulses
The Migros Culture Percentage is awarding grants totaling 150,000 francs to three Swiss cultural projects. These were selected from 'a large number of primarily interdisciplinary proposals« submitted in response to the call for proposals »New Perspectives. SlashArtist,« which was published for the first time in early 2020. The Migros cultural funding program announced this in a press release.
80,000 francs will go to the creators of an eight-part podcast on the question "Can artificial intelligence replace cultural creation?". The audio series accompanies the exhibition "Super - the second creation", which can be seen at the Museum of Communication in Bern from November 6.
The Zurich Agency for Virtuality is being supported with 50,000 Swiss francs to analyze virtual spaces. Together with Swiss artists and art and cultural organizations, this project will explore the relevance of virtual reality as a place of cultural reception and production.
The third project, supported with CHF 20,000, is the platform entitled "They say it is love. We say it is unaged work". Behind it is a Geneva-based collective that explores the question of how cultural creation is and should be remunerated. The aim is to increase the value of artistic work both economically and symbolically. (SDA)
