Max Planck Institute / Artist-in-Residence Program











The Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics’ INHABIT Artist-in-Residence Program offers a compelling opportunity for artists from diverse disciplines to immerse themselves in a scientific research environment, where they can collaborate with a team of world-class scientists and researchers. At the heart of this program lies a fundamental commitment to the integration of artistic practices as both creative and reflective modes of knowledge generation. The institute recognizes that the presence of art can provide unique insights, challenge established frameworks, and inspire new ways of thinking. This fusion of artistic creativity and scientific inquiry is central to the institute's broader mission of expanding the boundaries of understanding across different domains.

Through the INHABIT program, artists are invited to spend a three-month period working within this stimulating environment, where they are encouraged to develop new projects or enhance ongoing work. The program is designed not only as a platform for artistic growth but also as a place where scientific and artistic perspectives can interact in meaningful ways, benefiting both parties. The exchange of ideas and experiences between artists and researchers creates a rich, collaborative atmosphere, promoting the cross-pollination of ideas.

To ensure a successful residency, it is essential that artists are open to the goals and ethos of the institute. A willingness to engage with researchers, either individually or as part of research groups, is also a key component of the program. Throughout the residency, the institute provides a dedicated space for creative exploration, as well as access to various resources and facilities that enable productive experimentation. At the end of the residency, the work developed will be presented to the public through exhibitions, performances, or concerts, in collaboration with local arts institutions. These events will be further enhanced by discussions and presentations that explore the connection between art and science.
