European Southern Observatory (ESO)
In early 2015, more than 140 artists from 40 countries submitted ideas and concepts to the Open Call issued by the European Digital Arts & Science Network. They were vying to take advantage of an extraordinary opportunity: a residency for artists at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and a residency at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria. ESO, the European Southern Observatory, is the main organization in the world for ground-based astronomy.
