Beginning in August, STEIM will unveil a new seminar and collaborative residency program dealing with the building of new instruments and the artistic practices which emerge from interactive, performance-based thinking. The program will serve as a crash-course in STEIM philosophy, interaction principles, and practical considerations for the live and virtuosic performance of electronic music.

Participants will engage with STEIM staff and with each other through hands-on workshops, staff-led discussions, and group mentoring sessions all contributing to a new perspective on your own artistic practice. This week-long program will also serve as an ideal first visit to STEIM, an opportunity to discuss potential future collaborations, and a chance to become a part of the international network of artists and musicians that pass through STEIM and the Netherlands.
