Toolmaker Residency @ Signal Culture, Spring/Summer 2015

The Signal Culture Toolmaker in Residence program offers time, space and toolmaker studio access for people making devices or software used in the production of experimental media art. We have built a Toolmaker studio next to the Artist in Residence studio. This studio offers access to a variety of spare parts, electronic components, IC’s, soldering equipment, Raspberry Pi computers, Arduino and Making Things boards, sensors, etc. There can be access to both Mac & PC computers available, but it is suggested that you contact us with specific questions if you require specialized equipment.


Eligible applicants can include, but are not limited to hackers, circuit benders, software developers, robotics engineers, and audio or visual instrument builders. Signal Culture does not require any Toolmaker in Residence to donate their creations. Toolmaker residents developing physical objects or software during their residency will retain all intellectual property rights.

If a Toolmaker wishes to donate a prototype for use in the Signal Culture studios, we will graciously accept the gift.

We do not accept applications from undergraduate students or Masters degree candidates.
