    Description

Fee: £1500

Deadline: 10am on 13 July

D-Lab is an exciting new project, supported by Arts Council England 
through the National Lottery, Derbyshire County Council and Arts 
Derbyshire. It aims to bring the best and most exciting new media 
artists and artworks to an online audience, focussing especially on 
artists and organisations in Derbyshire and the East Midlands.


We want to encourage artists to make more and better use of digital 
media in their creative practice, to take risks and experiment, and to 
showcase their work to an online audience.


Junction Arts is a participatory arts organisation based in the East 
Midlands and is a commissioning partner of D-Lab. We have been 
delivering in the Bolsover district for close to 40 years. Our primary 
aim is to increase and extend access to high quality arts through 
inspirational innovative participatory arts programmes and projects 
through partnership and collaboration within the rural areas of the East 
Midlands.

We believe that the arts changes peoples lives, builds confidence, 
self-esteem, increases communication and supports community and personal 
empowerment.

We are inviting proposals from digital artists to develop a new and 
innovative online response to Junction Arts' Rural programme in the East 
Midlands area, showcasing new and existing work, through an interactive 
online element

Starting points might be an investigation of the interplay between 
‘routes’ and ‘roots’, metaphors for ‘connection’, and interactive 
digital maps, along with taxonomy and hierarchies. We would be 
interested in commissioning an online interactive which orders and/or 
connects material and perhaps investigates social media as form. We are 
very much open to suggestion and being led by the artist as far as the 
nature and form of the work is concerned.

We are interested in working with artists who will develop new 
technologies and innovative ways of interacting with communities and 
connecting with new audiences. Junction Arts would like to create new 
output alongside and in response to this commission that may include 
live webcasts, audio trails, and other creative interventions.
