In 2025, Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education in the United States, launched its new residency program, Arts in the Age of AI<\/a>, at the AI Action Summit in Paris, with an announcement by French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati. This initiative, funded by French-American patron and technology leader Fidji Simo, will host eight artists and culture professionals who incorporate artificial intelligence into their work, in the United States.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Villa Albertine will welcome four creators for two-month research and exploration residencies. The creators will receive individualized artistic and professional guidance, tapping into the full AI ecosystem, including tech companies, universities, research centers, and cultural institutions. They will carry out their residencies in the location most relevant to their research project among the 10 cities where Villa Albertine has offices, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2027, the participants will be selected by a jury of French and American AI professionals, including Refik Anadol<\/strong> (New Media Artist, Filmmaker, and Pioneer of Artificial Intelligence Aesthetics), Pierre Zandrowicz<\/strong> (Director and Digital Artist, Co-Founder of French studio Atlas V), Marcella Lista<\/strong> (Art Historian and Chief Curator at the Mus\u00e9e National d\u2019Art Moderne \u2013 Centre Pompidou, in charge of the New Media Collection), and Jazia Hammoudi<\/strong> (Program Director at Onassis ONX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
