2008 Synapse Art & Science Residencies_
Date 10th July
Tags science, residency, Australia, Synapse
The Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) is calling for proposals from media artists and science organisations to take part in the 2008 Synapse Residency program, supporting intensive partnerships between Australian media artists and science and research organisations in Australia and beyond.
The residencies are available to Australian artists with experience in media arts practice and an interest in science. Artists from all technologically mediated disciplines are welcome to apply.
In order to encourage early relationship-building and to ensure the best fit between artist and host organisation, a joint application must be submitted. It is the responsibility of either partner to establish contact with the other and to determine the best possible collaboration prior to application. Those with existing relationships are strongly encouraged to apply.
Residencies of 12 or 16 weeks’ duration (depending on whether the host organisation is based in Australia or elsewhere) will be supported. Participating artists will be paid a weekly fee, as well as accommodation and living away allowances and travel to the destination of the residency if required.
REVISED DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 5PM, FRIDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2008
