Onassis ONX Fellows

The Onassis ONX Fellows program supports artists developing digital, immersive, XR, and AI-driven work across installation, performance, and hybrid media. Fellows are selected based on the strength of their existing practice and are expected to share a demo or completed project at the end of their fellowship period.

Hosted by Onassis ONX in New York, the program provides access to ONX production facilities alongside focused creative and technical consultation with ONX staff. The fellowship is designed for individual artists and small teams pursuing research-driven work rather than commercial platforms and does not include a stipend or direct funding. Applications are reviewed twice annually.

Onassis AiR/ONX Fellows

The Onassis AiR/ONX Fellowships support artists working at the intersection of culture, technology, and human experience. Launched in 2023, the core fellowship is a two-month residency in Athens designed for exploratory, research-driven projects that treat technology as both medium and subject, often interrogating identity, power, institutions, and the commons.

Fellows work across advanced and emerging forms including immersive and spatial media, artificial intelligence, digital performance, games, networks, experimental hardware, and hybrid analog–digital practices. Through this collaboration, artists gain access to the Onassis Ready studio in Athens for hands-on experimentation, alongside opportunities to engage with ONX New York, extending their research within an international, practice-driven ecosystem.

In parallel, the Onassis AiR/ONX Extended Research Residencies support longer, deeper investigations for artists whose projects require sustained technical development and conceptual rigor. The program prioritizes proposals combining immersive narrative, mixed realities, and performative elements, with a focus on resilient, sustainable practices and responsible production using computational and networked technologies.

Lincoln Center Collider

The Collider Fellowship is a nine-month residency at Lincoln Center for six artists working at the forefront of performance and technology. Fellows receive stipends, studio space, and curatorial and administrative support to pursue open-ended research.

As a core partner, Onassis ONX provides studio access and technical resources, extending the fellowship across a shared ecosystem dedicated to performance, new media, immersive practice, and in-person artistic experimentation. More information can be found here.

NEW INC Extended Realities

Extended Realities is a focused track within NEW INC that supports artists and studios exploring the intersection of physical and digital experiences. The track supports practitioners working with XR technologies, including virtual and augmented reality, motion capture, immersive sound, and networked digital worlds, to create embodied, spatial work.

In partnership with Onassis ONX, Extended Realities connects members to technical resources, studio access, and a broader ecosystem dedicated to immersive media, performance, and experimental forms that engage audiences in new ways. More information can be found here.

MIT OpenDoc Lab

The MIT OpenDoc Lab/Onassis ONX Fellowship is a cross-institutional exchange supporting artists working at the intersection of nonfiction storytelling, emerging technologies, and research-driven cultural practice. Grounded in a shared commitment to expanding documentary form, the program brings one artist from each community into the partner institution’s ecosystem for immersive research, studio access, and curatorial exchange.

The fellowship supports exploratory work across immersive and spatial media, XR, AI-informed storytelling, interactive systems, and hybrid documentary forms. By extending artistic research across institutional and disciplinary contexts, it fosters sustained collaboration and advances new approaches to how reality is represented, mediated, and experienced.
