The Processing Foundation Fellowship Program proudly announces its return for 2025, featuring an invigorating theme: Data Storytelling.

In 2025, they are thrilled to offer two fully remote Processing Foundation Fellowships and one in-person Extended Realities Fellowship in Los Angeles, California.

Categories

• Processing Foundation Fellowships (Remote): They invite individuals and collectives working across creative coding, interactive fiction, time-based media, and live performances to propose artistic or technical projects that explore innovative approaches to telling stories through data.
• Extended Realities Fellowship (In-Person): They are launching a partnership with the Unusual Suspects Theater Company and Street Poets to support one fellow project. This is a unique opportunity to produce original short-form plays in collaboration with the Unusual Suspects Theater Company’s Youth Theater Conservatory.
