We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.
We are delighted to announce that artist duo Semiconductor have been awarded a research residency at the Innovation in Digital Governance – INNPULSE project (part of the Digital Economy and Society Unit).
Between January and June 2026, Semiconductor will work alongside our science-for-policy researchers, questioning and probing issues relating to emerging technologies and civic participation. By investigating the languages, methodologies and infrastructures underpinning research at the JRC, the aim is to shift attention from technological outcomes to the systems that produce them, opening space for public dialogue on innovation and its societal implications.
To kick-start the residency, Semiconductor gave an artist talk introducing their previous work at the intersection of science and science-for-policy.
Semiconductor presented their artistic practice to the JRC community on 28th January 2026. A recording is available below.

For over twenty-five years, Semiconductor have developed a research-led practice grounded in collaborations with scientific institutions such as CERN, NASA and the UK Government Office for Science. Their work critically examines how scientific tools, data and systems of knowledge production shape human perception and influence how reality is described and governed.
