the creation of three media artworks as part of *Les Voyages de Capitaine
futur*, a European cooperation project supported by Creative Europe.

*[ CONTEXT *
*]*


*Les Voyages de Capitaine futur* aims to empower citizens with technology
culture from a very young age. The four partners are developing the project
around Capitaine futur, an imaginary character whose journeys introduce
children to contemporary art and new media, which serve as tools for
emancipation and learning. The three original media artworks, which will be
paired with creation workshops and online tutorials and exhibited in Paris,
Amsterdam, Namur and Lomé.


*[ CREATIVE FIELDS *
*]*


The call for proposals is open to all transdisciplinary art forms that use,
experiment with, subvert and investigate media from a critical, creative,
sensory-based perspective: artificial intelligence, art & science,
robotics, bioart, machine learning, smart objects, interactive and
speculative design, re/upcycling, etc.



*[ THE THEME *
*]*


We invite artists to offer their perspective on hybrid forms of ecology in
which our technological environments have become natural elements. A new
world where a host of singular species coexist: virtual animals, mutant
plants, electronic viruses, insatiable computers, memory rocks, tentacular
networks, autodidact algorithms, domestic robots, cybernetic forests and
more. Is this organic, composite world an intermediate stage of natural
evolution or a ‘big bang’ of singularities? What tools must we craft to
survive, experience, adjust to and negotiate these new types of coexistence?


*“Supernatural: stories of worlds to come” *aims to elicit poetic visions,
narrative approaches and fictional tales that recount a land where humans
are no longer central and undergo a metamorphosis upon contact with
heterogeneous beings.
