Lincoln Center's Collider Fellowship is fostering innovation by inviting multi-disciplinary artists to explore how emerging technologies can revolutionize live performance. The second class of Collider Fellows, comprising six artists specializing in areas like VR, AI, and 4DSound, will receive studio space, a financial stipend, and support from Lincoln Center and Onassis ONX for nine months.
The fellowship encourages artists to experiment without requiring a final project, promoting both prototyping and in-depth research. Projects from the first class are still developing, with potential for future display at Lincoln Center. The program aims to broaden the conversation around technology, particularly among underrepresented groups, and explore new ways to engage global audiences through location-based experiences and extended reality.
The 2025 Collider Fellows include Cinthia Chen, Sam Rolfes, James Allister Sprang, Stephanie Dinkins, Kevin Peter He, and Dr. Rashaad Newsome, each bringing unique expertise in performance, technology, and immersive experiences.
