The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Now Accepting Applications for its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its Artists in Residence Programs

Troy, NY – The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) is dedicated to advancing research and artistic production at the intersection of technology, media and the time-based arts (media arts, video, music, dance, theater, etc.).

To that end, EMPAC is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for both its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its Artists in Residence programs. There are no deadlines for applications, which will be accepted and reviewed throughout the year.

The Artists in Residence program is available to individuals, groups, ensembles or collectives to develop new approaches and new works in the time-based arts.

The intent of the program is to support work that cannot be created or realized elsewhere. As EMPAC is part of a technological research university and carries the word “experimental” in its name, goals may turn out to be unobtainable or dead ends, be they artistic or technical. Residencies may be used to take risks and experiment with new ideas, which are not necessarily attached to specific performances or a finished work.

Along with a state-of-the art facility, EMPAC offers residents the logistical support of experts in audio, video and stage technologies, as well as critical discourse with an interdisciplinary curatorial team.

Residencies may be for the entire duration of a project or for any phase of development. There is no preset limit on the length of time or frequency of residencies during the course of a project. Prospective artists may apply for limited travel and accommodation support, but also are encouraged to come with their own means of support.

The Scholars and Researchers in Residence Program is available to visiting scholars and researchers whose research is directed at the intersection of physical, human-scale environments and the technological domain.

EMPAC aims to create an environment of fertile creation, cross-pollination, and intellectual stimulation. Visiting scholars and researchers will participate in the formation of an intellectual community in scientific and engineering disciplines that may also engage perceptual and artistic knowledge and practice.

EMPAC will also be a platform for research activities in areas such as augmented reality, virtual reality, scientific visualization, audification, haptics, human/machine interfaces and interaction, auralization, and multi-modal modeling in large-scale, fully media-integrated environments.

Visiting scholars and researchers in residence are encouraged to apply for longer stays or affiliations that span over several residency periods. Prospective visitors may apply for limited travel and accommodation support, but also should expect to come with their own research funds. This program is an ideal match for scholars on sabbatical and for researchers with specific requirements that EMPAC can match. Residencies may also be granted to teams working on a joint project or developing new approaches, especially if they involve Rensselaer faculty and students.

Elsewhere Artist Collaborative 2009 Call for Residencies – ongoing deadline

ELSEWHERE ARTIST COLLABORATIVE

2009 residencies for artists, writers, musicians, curators and cultural producers

Elsewhere, an arts production site and experimental museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, is seeking cultural producers for residencies during the 2009 spring summer anf fall seasons. Set within a former thrift store housing a 58-year collection of American surplus, thrift, and antiques, Elsewhere invites experimental creators to utilize the immense collection of objects to pursue site-specific material, conceptual, and/or technologically-based projects. Elsewhere’s building—two storefronts on the ground floor, a 14-room boarding house on the second, and warehouse on the third—provides dynamic architectures for the creation and installation of works. Artists live and work within transforming installations; these interactive environments become platforms for re-conceptualizing the theory and practice of art-making as an ongoing process of exchange in community. http://www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/residencies.html. Creators of all kinds and collaborative groups should email residencies [at] elsewhereelsewhere.org for an application and brochure. We review applications at the end of each month.

FILE-LABO call for submissions – ongoing deadline

FILE Labo, the new media laboratory of Electronic Language International Festival, is now launching its first call for project proposals.

If you have an idea and are an artist, a designer, a programmer, an engineer, a scientist, or if you have developed any work for your university or for yourself, and always found it an interesting work, but which ended up in the sidelines, now you can send it to FILE-LABO.

The LABO is a free territory for creation and invention; an independent and collaborative network for the development of art, science and technology, located in São Paulo, at the SESI Vila Leopoldina Cultural Center, and devised under a platform of collaboration among creators and professionals of different areas. There, you will find collaborators from technical, theoretical, and political-cultural areas, who will follow and support the development of your proposal.

Send your project or idea through the proper submission form in the site. Later on, there will be a project selection by a laboratory’s professional commission.

FILE-Labo will prioritize projects and ideas that can really be developed by the laboratory within the maximum period of one year.

Agence TOPO call for multimedia works – ongoing deadline

Agence TOPO is looking for multimedia titles to expand its Electronic Showcase
www.AgenceTOPO.qc.ca/showcase

Agence TOPO is an artist-run center dedicated to the production, creation, dissemination and distribution of independant multimedia works. We currently aim to expand our on-line catalogue of multimedia titles distributed through our online Electronic Showcase.

The Electronic Showcase of the TOPO Agency is a site of reference, promotion and sale of interactive cd-roms, dvd-roms, video dvds and other artistic publications integrating a multimedia component.

Agence TOPO is interested by artistic artworks from Canada and abroad, innovatives in terms of narrative structure, artistic content or interactive strategies. The artworks of our current catalogue fall within one of the following categories: multimedia fiction, narrative, poetic or random, interactive or random poetry, interactive cartoon, interactive art, interactive video, dvd-video and reference work. To this list can be added any other type of artwork involving an original interactive dynamic, a content or a thematic that responds to the editorial lines of the Electronic Showcase. Artist’s portfolios, catalogues, and Web sites reproduced on a cd/dvd will not be considered.

By referencing and distributing works created since 1995, the Electronic Showcase retraces some reference points in the short history of interactive art on a physical media, the evolution of technology and the definition of a new language.

We thus invite the multimedia artistic community to propose new titles to our selection committee. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information or even to let us know about an ongoing project you would like to suggest.

You will find an interactive form online at http://www.AgenceTOPO.qc.ca/vitrine/submit.html

Thank you for your collaboration.
