Form within Graz, maya will join the #worklab_mur2025. maya is a philosophy student with a background in earth sciences, a facilitator of cultural events in Graz and non-artist of this residency. Maya’s interests include analog photography, textile artistries, despair, cinematography and solid parts of the earth.

We already introduced four exciting #worklab_mur2025 participants and Artists in Residence to you. But there are even more to come.
For instance, kamo, who will also join the five days @esc!

kamo (he/him) is a digital media artist currently based in Rotterdam. He develops situated software to explore how technology organizes togetherness, and how togetherness affects technology. This often results in tools for drawing, writing, playing music, and other visual and performative instruments. His career as an artist could be described using the trolley problem meme with the following dilemma: developing tools for yourself or developing tools for others?
