Call for Proposals
shared Artist in Residence
Deadline extended to 20 November

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.

New Deadline is 20 November 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.
