NeMe is happy to announce the start of its 2026 EMAP public programme with the residency of César Escudero Andaluz (https://escuderoandaluz.com), an artist and researcher living in Linz. His work focuses on digital culture and its social and political effects. His practices combine images, diagrams, interactive installations, and robotics with speculative design, media archaeology, critical interfaces and infrastructures. César’s research addresses issues such as dataveillance, algorithmic governance, blockchain, labour precariousness, and techno-colonialism.
The European Media Art Platform (EMAP) is pleased to announce the selection of 15 artists for its 2026 residency programme. Out of 643 submissions from across Europe, the participating member institutions jointly selected the artists during the jury conference hosted at the MEET Digital Culture Center in Milano.
On Saturday and Sunday, 18-19 April 2026, we invite you to join us for Decentralised networks of care, a series of engaging and topical talks followed by open discussions, about the role of NGOs in the art world. Despite their significant contributions to artists, communities, education and the economy, cultural nonprofit organisations face numerous challenges.
NeMe is involved in 3 open calls this year. Eligible individuals are encouraged to apply.
This open call for speakers is for a COST funded Training School focusing on cultural care and its subservient function to politics, economy, bureaucratic decisions, and the environment.
With the support of the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the European Media Art Platform (EMAP) invites artists, artist duos, collectives, and artistic collaborations working in digital, media, robotic, and bio art to apply for a two-month production residency in 2026.
This open call for speakers is for a COST funded Training School focusing on cultural care and its subservient function to politics, economy, bureaucratic decisions, and the environment.
At 7 p.m., on 9 January 2026, we invite you to the opening of the exhibition Veiling Identities: Resisting Recognition.
Veiling Identities: Resisting Recognition is a project focusing on the critical obfuscation techniques used by artists fighting against the digitally powered panopticon built by state and/or corporate actors. It aims to investigate how artists ethically weaponise their knowledge and imaginations to fight against potentially repressive consumer technologies.
On 31 of October, 2, and 3 of November you are invited to the opening of Algorithms of Power, being the introduction to a 2 to 3 year research project by NeMe which aims to scrutinise multiple areas related to the weaponisation of consumerist technologies. This long term project critically investigates and radically re-imagines, through the eyes of artists, scholars, and relevant actors the far-reaching issues that are emerging, damaging our democracies. endangering our lives, and our fragile peace in this geographical region and beyond.

Addressed to the President of the Republic of Cyprus, we support this petition which discusses, the attitudes of the current administration of the Deputy Ministry of Culture and the state of the cultural sector in Cyprus.
An objection that was agreed upon, jointly written, and co-signed by 73 non-profit Cypriot cultural organisations regarding Article 9 of the tax reform, which focuses on donations from the private sector to cultural organisations.
This year, the contemporary art scene in Cyprus has been overwhelmed by an avalanche of poor decisions and actions by the Deputy Ministry of Culture, demonstrating that its administration is not exercising its responsibilities with due diligence. We have reached a new low, as it appears that the Deputy Ministry is adopting a strategy of control through confusion, forcing the cultural sector to absorb itself in a constant response to frequent and poorly coordinated interventions and policy shifts, rather than focusing on research, development, and the evolution of artistic production. The result is a climate of insecurity and disorientation, which favors alienation rather than study and creation. Although there have been controversies in the past that have fueled the news and social media, never before have we had so many issues to contend with in such a short period of time as we do now.
transmediale e.V. is inviting applications for the Exhibition Curation for transmediale 2027. The exhibition curator’s central responsibility is the development of the upcoming exhibition as part of the festival’s programme.
According to the 2025 Eurobarometer, culture ranks as the number one factor contributing to a sense of community among Europeans – above other factors, such as shared values, history, economy, language, education, the rule of law, healthcare and environmental concerns.
Europe needs unity.
Following the publication of the results of the “Culture II – Supporting Visual Activity and Development” Programme for 2025, and following our repeated interventions to the Department of Contemporary Culture – both through the Working Group and independent stakeholders – since November 2024, documented concerns and proposals for the Culture Programme have been submitted. In this context, we are taking a public position on the rejection of a significant number of proposals, as well as the systemic problems highlighted by the evaluation process.
This is one of a series of unconferences (open space gatherings with an emergent agenda) aiming for impact in tech policy, in Cyprus and beyond.
The central theme of the WRO Biennale 2025 is Qualia.
A series of events presenting Polish and international contemporary art orientated at media experiments, interaction, examination of impulses coming from the works, and relations of art and consciousness, which we are going to try to capture through the lens of a relatively young philosophical concept, which has its roots in epistemology.
May is normally a slow month in the Cyprus arts scene. NeMe is trying to remedy this with two talks that ever slightly try to fill this gap.
Dear NeMe forum Community,
After serious consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our online Forum.
