Overview
- The Serpentine announced on Wednesday that it has selected four fellows—Alice Bucknell, Reina Mun, Alfredo Salazar‑Caro and Auriea Harvey—each awarded £10,000 to begin a six‑month research programme in London.
- The cohort was chosen from nearly 1,000 applicants and will take part in online sessions, specialist seminars, tailored mentorship and in‑person intensives to produce creative research into AI and cultural practice.
- The initiative is funded through a three‑year partnership with the Glass Castle Foundation, chaired by Suneil Setiya, which will also underwrite annual commissions linked to the programme.
- A high‑profile jury that includes artists and technologists such as Refik Anadol, Cao Fei, Lila Ibrahim, Mariana Mazzucato and Evan Spiegel will guide selection and programme priorities, while Formafantasma has been named ecology advisors.
- The fellowship builds on Serpentine’s Future Art Ecosystems work dating to 2019 and opens with an archive display, processing…, on view through 6 September to situate the projects within the gallery’s longer art‑and‑technology research.
