////////////   NIMk Artists in Residence 2010   ////////////

DEADLINE: 1st September 2009

The Artist in Residence (AiR) programme at the Netherlands Media Art
Institute supports the exploration and development of new work in
digital/interactive/network media and technology based arts practice.
The residency provides time and resources to artists in a supportive
environment to facilitate the creation of new work that is produced
from an open source perspective. We encourage a cross disciplinary and
experimental approach. This is a practice based residency designed to
enable the development and completion of a new work.

The ideal candidate will have a broad understanding of contemporary
art and theory, as well as media history and visual culture and should
have knowledge of requested software, as well as understanding of
programming.
The artist's intention should be to make a new artwork, to be shown in
exhibitions and to be distributed by the Netherlands Media Art
Institute and others. (We do not demand exclusivity for presentation
or distribution.)

For the AiR program 2010 we manly focus on technology and mobility
that can change habits and inhabitation of public spaces. Our goal is
to explore mobile and portable platforms as innovative creation and
distribution systems. Proposals for users participation and
interaction by modified excistend devices as phones, iPod, GPS and
others are welcome.

If your ideas for a new artwork does not fit into the mentioned
demands you still can apply: we are always interested in brilliant
ideas.

Research
The Artlab is the department within the Netherlands Media Art
Institute that is responsible for research. Artlab supports research
by artists into the use of new media within the visual arts. Here
artists can experiment, make contact with one another, cooperate and
create new work.
Through the Artist in Residence program artists are invited to submit
project proposals of innovative use of new technologies. Artists in
Residence program is a structural part of the Institute.
In addition there is occasional research done into tools that can be
of service in the process of presentation, production, post-production
and distribution of streaming media. Moreover, since 1990 the
possibilities for conserving video art and multimedia installations
have been investigated. For the latter the Institute takes part in
various Dutch and international collaborations.
As a research center, the Netherlands Media Art Institute focuses
first on professional specialists, but students can also approach it
with problems they may encounter. With the aid of the open source and
open content principle, as much knowledge and expertise as possible is
made available by the internet.
