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.
