Syndicate: New Tech Art Fellowships

["anna balint" <epistolaris@freemail.hu>]

NEW TECHNOLOGY ARTS FELLOWSHIP SCHEME (PHASE 1)
CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Crucible, Kettle's Yard and the Junction are joining together to develop a
New Technology Arts Fellowship Scheme.  The scheme will give artists access
to cutting edge technology through direct partnerships with technology
researchers. The first phase of this scheme will begin in January 2002 and
is intended as a research and development period.   Up to three artists will
be selected to work over a three-month period to establish partnerships and
develop proposals for longer-term projects. We would like to invite
applications from artists with a track record in producing work based on
information and communication technologies, and an interest in exploring
interactivity in partnership with technologists.

-------------------------------------------------------

Crucible, Kettle's Yard and The Junction believe that interactive artwork
offers new and exciting ways for artists to engage with their audiences, and
we are keen to support its creation and dissemination.

The Fellowship Scheme is intended as a means to bridge the gap between the
research laboratory and the audience.  It  will enable artists to draw on
and influence developments within the digital industry.  Our aim is to bring
together creative individuals from different fields and nurture synergy
between them.  Cambridge, as a recognised international centre for
technological innovation, provides a rich context for such collaboration.

Phase 1 will provide an opportunity for artists to pursue some exploratory
ideas for interactive artwork, and assist us to develop the framework and
funding to support the realisation of longer-term projects in Phase 2.

Crucible  www.crucible.cl.cam.ac.uk

Crucible is a research network within the University of Cambridge. Its
purpose is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration of technologists
with researchers in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AH&SS). The
main focus of this collaboration is on design as a meeting point for widely
differing research disciplines. Crucible activities include the
establishment of new research programmes, training of researchers, input to
policy bodies, and identification of suitable funding sources for research
in interdisciplinary design. Crucible recently hosted a major conference,
convened by the Arts Council of England and the Academia Europaea. The
conference on Collaboration and Ownership in the Digital Economy (CODE)
offered multidisciplinary perspectives on the nature of ownership and reward
for creative work www.cl.cam.ac.uk/CODE
