You've got big ideas. You could use a little time and money, not to
mention support and inspiration, to create a visionary project. Apply
now for Eyebeam's Summer/Fall 2009 Residency cycle. Residents are
granted a $5,000 stipend and 24/7 access to Eyebeam's state of the art
digital design and fabrication studios at their Chelsea facility.
About the Residency
Eyebeam residencies support the creative research, production and
presentation of initiatives querying art, technology and culture. The
residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic
investigation, daring research or production of visionary,
experimental applications and projects. Past initiatives have ranged
from live animation, sound and physical computing works to technical
prototypes, installations and tactical media events. Check out what
our current and past residents have been doing here:
http://eyebeam.org/people-residents/residents.
The ideal resident will both contribute to and benefit from the
collective environment at Eyebeam, and will embrace the spirit of
openness shared across the organization: open source, open content and
open distribution.
To promote collaboration and the sharing of diverse skill sets,
Eyebeam has established and continues to encourage the formation of
research groups that bring together creative practitioners working at
Eyebeam as well as expert external participants.
New research often leads to public outcomes including seminars,
workshops and exhibition. Research groups currently active at Eyebeam
include:
• Sustainability
• Urban Research
• Middle Eastern Research
• Open Cultures
Artists and creative technologists interested in these research areas
are particularly encouraged to apply for 2009 residencies, but we are
also open to accepting ideas for emerging areas of research.
Eyebeam is also seeking proposals from artists whose practices:
a) actively engage different community groups, especially youth;
b) focus on open source/culture ideologies, including intellectual
property, licensing issues and law; and/or
c) investigate sustainable models of food production and consumption
and the impact of those models on society.
Residents are expected to participate in public events including
workshops, demonstrations of research in progress, panel discussions,
and online releases, in addition to regularly scheduled open studio
events.
The program term is from the beginning of August to the end of
January. Residents will be selected from an open call, based on the
quality of the work or research being proposed, the availability of
the necessary tools and skills to support the work, and in
consideration of the overarching research themes and activities of the
organization.
Eyebeam is committed to building a diverse creative environment. We
recognize diversity as encompassing personal style, age, race, gender,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language, physical
ability, religion, family, citizenship status, socioeconomic
circumstances, education and life experiences. We consequently
encourage applications from the broadest possible range of artists and
creative technologists to all of our programs.
