Residency


Highlight connects artists, Scientists and designers to explore new possibilities of technology through hands-on experimentation.

Highlight brings artists and technology developers together to explore the artistic and experimental potential of new technologies.

By connecting experts and creative makers, we create tangible experiences, unexplored possibilities, and new narratives about how humans can shape their world with technology.

Presenting during Highlight festival

In 2025, artist Noor Stenfert Kroese is collaborating with the research group of Dr Kunal Masania at Aerospace Structures and Materials (TU Delft). During the residency, she explores the connection between mycelium (fungi) and robotics and investigates how spatial signals can be measured within fungal networks. The outcomes of this residency will be presented at Highlight Festival 2026, ROBO-Futures.
