Call for Proposals shared Artist in Residence

Deadline November 12

5daysoff, Pervasive Media Studio, Kitchen Budapest and NIMk launch an
open call for a cross-European residency program.We’re looking for
interesting artists seeking time and space to research, produce and
present projects at the intersection of art, mobility and culture
involving audience participation. The program will support early stage
ideas that utilise pervasive technologies and free/open source software.
This is a valuable opportunity to explore process and develop
experimental works within four unique collaborative environments to be
presented in public space and/or festival environments.

Deadline November 12, 2010.

WHAT
5days off 2011 will feature an exhibition that focuses on art works
questioning and examining new production methods: projects that were
produced using online means for production and creation of content such
as crowd sourcing, that challenge the notion of artists as single
creator or author of a work and experiment with notions of co-authorship
and co-creation by e.g. involving others, knowingly or unconsciously in
the development of a work.

In this context, we are particularly interested in projects that deal
with the theme of mobility and involve the audience as co-creators in
public space in a playful, dynamic or performative way by using mobile,
wireless or sensory technologies in innovative and surprising ways. We
are looking for projects that trigger individual actions/experiences
that lead to a unique collective experience. Communication towards and
participation of the audience is crucial. The project is situated in the
context of electronic pop culture.

WHEN
Projects will be developed during the period of December 2010 until May
2011. During this period beta tests will happen at 5daysoff in Amsterdam
and at Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol. The 5daysoff festival takes
place between 2-6 March 2011, and its exhibition from 18 February to 29
April 2011. The final work will be presented at a public festival.

WHERE
The residency will be hosted by four European organisations: Kitchen
Budapest, NIMk, 5daysoff/Melkweg and Pervasive Media Studio. Time will
need to be spent at each location and the organizations will provide
targeted support (in the form of resources, space, technical support,
local context and time) relevant to each stage of project development.
