I need you, but I don't want you: the ambiguity of artistic residencies and tourism.

Abstract

Abstract The artists in residency (AiR) programme attached to this project has been developed according to its mission of enabling a transient community for the FabLab while raising the profile of the place through creative interventions and communityled activities. Buinho's motto has emerged to be 'serious play', as the Buinho's AiR programme has been much inspired by Michael Resnik's idea of a 'lifelong kindergarten' (Resnik, 2018). Buinho acts as an enabling arena for both artistic research and technological experimentation. Creative practices are unleashed from formal methodological restraints through a programme that privileges an experimental approach.
