The artists were rewarded with the BEN Award (B3 Biennale), the Lab Award (Lab30) and naming at the “Nachwuchsförderpreis für Medienkunst” (Edith-Russ-Haus). Invited from the Goethe Institut Wroclaw they took up a residency at the WRO-Art-Center, where they held robotic-workshops. Their artworks have been shown among others at the Nassauischer Kunstverein (Wiesbaden, 2015), the ISEA in (Dubai, 2014), the Paraflows (Vienna, 2014), the FILE-Festival (Sao Paulo, 2013), the WRO-Biennale (Wroclaw, 2013) and the EMAF (Osnabrück, 2012).
These artists have been selected by the guest curator Klio Krajewska as part of her ArtJaws collection entitled “RISING CLASSICS”.
