    Description

The British Science Festival and Brighton Digital Festival are looking 
to co-commission a new digital artwork that will be presented in a 
gallery space at the University of Brighton, Edward St Campus throughout 
the British Science Festival and Brighton Digital Festival (5 September 
to 13 October 2017).

We are particularly interested in works that explore and respond to 
themes of place: the shifting horizons of physical and virtual 
environments; the possibilities of technology to reimagine, reinvent and 
reinterpret space and place, and new opportunities to facilitate 
collaboration and connect people, place and things.

A budget of up to £5,000 is available for this commission, to include 
all fees, design, production and installation. Installation support 
through the University may be available.

*Deadline for proposals is 12 noon Monday 24 April 2017.*

Please send all proposals to melissa at brightondigitalfestival.co.uk

For more information contact Rosie Waldron on 
rosie.waldron at britishscienceassociation.org or Laurence Hill on 
laurence at brightondigitalfestival.co.uk.

Taking place in Brighton from 5-9 September 2017, the British Science 
Festival will be co-hosted by the Universities of Brighton and Sussex,

come together to celebrate the latest developments in science and to 
engage in open discussion about issues that affect our culture and society.

Brighton unique, its innovative digital economy and top-level arts
