Nokturno.fi, a Finnish website for digital and experimental poetry is launching a new residency program. The first digital residence takes place in fall 2017. 

Nokturno’s Digital Residence is a virtual residency program inviting poets and artists to create digital poetry and explore and use digital resources as part of their practise. The residency period extends from two to four weeks in September and/or November depending on applicant’s working plan. The 2017 residency is primarily for Finnish poets or poets living Finland. Also artists using poetry in their work are encouraged to apply. 

The poet/artist is provided a virtual gallery/working space at Nokturno.fi and the opportunity to utilize it in for example
– Creating and releasing a new work of digital poetry
– Inviting visitors of the site to follow one’s practise via digital means
– Creating and maintaining an interactive work for the duration of the residency
– Exploring a topic related to poetry and the digital world in an open access digital environment
