The three-month residency is made possible by a cooperation between the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program (BKP), the Department of Culture and Museums of the City of Potsdam and PIK.
Sheila Hayman was selected from over 300 applications for the Artist in Residence program, which put out an international call for applicants for the first time this year. Her residency in Potsdam takes place from September to November 2020. During her stay, she will focus on the contradictions and ambivalences of artificial intelligence regarding issues of sustainability and climate change. The multiple award-winning journalist and director of numerous documentaries is currently working in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab on a book and film titled “Senseless” on these topics.
