Crowdfunding for TU Delft

We are Emergence, the brand-new Dream Team from TU Delft.  We hope to develop a space at the TUDelft for playful tinkering, experimentation and collaboration between all kinds of different disciplines. A team that develops artworks that offer a different perspective upon the impact of technology on society, creating opportunities to discuss and reflect. What We Do: Emergence is a Dream Team consisting of 22 engineers from TU Delft and 11 art students from Royal Academy of Art The Hague. Together, we dedicate the next six months to making a "dream" a reality voluntarily. We harness the collective strengths of technical engineers, designers, and artists to explore the intersections of these fields and develop innovative artistic concepts. Over the next six months, Emergence aims to create new media artworks that reflect on and respond to the digital society. How We Do It: At Emergence, art and technology students collaborate on the research and development of new artistic media, drawing on the expertise of both TU Delft and nearby art schools. We pursue this through two different types of projects: the Platform Project and the Main Project. The Platform Projects are based on curiosity-driven research and develop artworks that respond to open calls or commissioned projects. They each last for one semester. On the other hand, the annual Main Project follows a more traditional "dream team" approach with a mission-driven focus. It consists of both a research and development phase, spanning a year. Help us move forward! Since we are a brand-new team and at the beginning of our journey, we have little to no financial resources. We aim to raise funds with your help through this crowdfunding campaign to finance our Platform and New Media project.
