habitat recognizes the value of the wasted surplus; the artistic residency sets out to present cultural production as economic progression, explore digital migration as means for financial release, and to honor the artist as his own project.

The program is bound by time and space. habitat explores creation under heightened financial and timely pressure by limiting the artist’s site of production to the hotel room — his home — for the duration of the residency. habitat appropriates constrains as methodology and limitations as tools; an impatient, uninspired translation of reality.
