The Almost Perfect 'Call and Response' residency at the Banff New Media 
Institute is an annual, concentrated four-week experimental prototyping 
lab that explores the creation and context of location. Practitioners 
from all walks of locative and mobile media practice are encouraged to 
apply to the program. We are particularly interested in practice that 
extends beyond the device out into the environment, be it landscape or 
datascape.

The massive scale of Banff National Park's Rocky Mountains and the 
expanse of the Great Plains to the east provide a unique opportunity to 
untie yourself from the usual coordinates of place. Geographies of time, 
scale, and great disruption lay exposed, lending themselves to the call 
and response of technology and nature. This residency allows time and 
space to consider how modern technologies let us disconnect from our 
desktop cells and interact with the world in a whole new way.
