The Banff New Media Institute in Alberta, Canada is currently offering two thematic residencies.
The Almost Perfect ‘Call and Response’
residency at the Banff New Media Institute is an annual, concentrated
four-week experimental prototyping lab that explores the creation and
context of location. Practitioners from all walks of locative and
mobile media practice are encouraged to apply to the programme. They are
particularly interested in practice that extends beyond the device out
into the environment, be it landscape or datascape.
The program runs from October 30 to November 30, 2008.
Application deadline: Friday September 19, 2008
The Liminal Screen Co-production Residency at The Banff Centre provides a unique take on video-based residency programs by creating a community of like-minded artists, developers, and researchers engaging in a collective critical inquiry into video as a medium. This residency will focus its inquiry on the transitions between screen and life, as the screen reinforces its central position as an ubiquitous communications portal, data visualization surface and frame on an ever more meditated world.Practitioners from all walks of screen-based practice are encouraged to apply to the program. They are particularly interested in practice that extends its investigation of the screen out into other media or networks (biological, philosophical, social and other systems) and explores the spaces and relationships between screen, mind and hard reality. The program runs from February 26 - March 29, 2009.
Application Deadline: November 24, 2008
