Discrete support systems refer to the underlying structures that facilitate the operation and interaction of components within both digital and natural ecosystems. Digital data is inherently discrete, composed of bits that represent either a 0 or a 1. This binary structure underpins all digital processes, from the simplest computations to the complex operations within artificial intelligence, whereas biological organisms are made up of cells, which function through the orchestration of countless discrete biochemical processes. In the context of electronic arts, these can be interpreted as the frameworks, both technical and conceptual, that support creative expression and ecological care and interconnectedness. We are interested in artists-researchers exploring sustainable art practices, data as material, virtual naturalism, microbial art, generative art, frameworks for interaction, ecologies of care, etc. The residency will result in an Exhibition at La Plateforme Intermedia in Nantes.
