RAIVE is a laboratory for young artists from diverse disciplines such as dance, music, technology, and visual arts where artists come together to redefine the boundaries of their craft through the lens of interdisciplinary collaboration. Participants learn to craft their own AI systems from basic principles, creating and curating their own datasets through a very “hands-on” artistic approach.
The programme is structured to encourage autonomy while providing access to expert guidance. As participants, you will work in groups throughout the week. During this process you learn from each other and benefit from the insights of three coaches, skilled in different areas within the arts. These coaches are there to mentor as well as share their personal artistic journeys through lectures and performances, enriching the learning atmosphere.
Introductory workshops will guide you on how to work with AI, interactive audio and performance practices. These sessions aim to provide you with tools to explore new ways of working together.
The culmination of this week-long journey is a public presentation held in De Gele Zaal of the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. This sharing isn’t about showing polished pieces but rather the raw, intriguing results of a week’s exploration of art and technology. It’s an invitation to the public to witness the process and the progress of works that sit at the intersection of multiple disciplines, brought to life by the next generation of artists.
The deadline for this application is on April 19th 2026 at 23.59 CEST.
The total price of the summer school is € 300.00. Included in this price are: lunch, workshops, coachings, working space and technical equipment.

RAIVE is organised by The Algorithmic Gaze and CREATIE, two research groups situated in Antwerp that combine technology and arts.
