Abstract
Artist residencies offer opportunities for creative interaction between different cultures, communities, and practitioners. Beyond providing time and space, hosts facilitate artists’ immersive social encounters with place, allowing them to explore unfamiliar processes of experimentation. Drawing on a case study of a robotics and arts-based residency, which birthed the choreographed robotic installation ‘First Kiss’ by Melanie Lane, this short paper considers the complex rhythms of transdisciplinary collaboration; their awkward intimacies challenging seamless trajectories of innovation.
