A rejection today.

Rejections in art are hard. Most applications fail. There were 186 applications for this single residency.

Applications are days of unpaid work for no reward.

Not even feedback.

Feedback would help.

This approach is being pursued a.o. by #ARTORG, Insel Gruppe & sitem Center for Translational Medicine and Biomedical Entrepreneurship. Read a summary of the state of the art: https://sohub.io/1xrp
