The residency program is hosted across the following centers, labs, and clusters: Technoculture, Art, and Games (TAG); the Speculative Life Cluster; the Speculative Life Biolab; the Textiles & Materiality Cluster; the MaSH Lab; the Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC); and the Post Image Cluster.
