At the crossroad of visual arts, literature and new media

Featuring works of fiction for the web, Agence TOPO supports the
convergence of visual arts, literature and new media, the renewal of
narrative genres on the web and a presence in the network of artists
coming from diverse artistic and cultural horizons.

We invite all artists with a contemporary practice in any discipline
to submit an individual or collective proposal for a web art project
involving new approaches in terms of narrativity, visual design and
interaction. The projects could include another component, such as
performance, installation, exhibition, mobile device, etc., that may be
complementary to the expanse of web features and possibilities.

The selected artists and projects will benefit from technical support
by an experienced multimedia designer for a period of 4 to 8 weeks
within a residency program that can be spread out over time depending
on the artists needs and agenda.
