[spectre] extended deadline call for applications new project The Patching Zone

[Anne Nigten]

The Patchingzone is a transdisciplinary laboratory for innovation where Master, doctor, post-doc students and professionals from different backgrounds create meaningful content. In our laboratories the students and researchers work together, supervised by experts, on commissions with creative use of high-tech materials, digital media and / or information technology.

The Patching Zone invites motivated students to participate in a new project, starting September 2010, deadline for applications June 30th:
 Digital Art Lab location: Zoetermeer (The Hague area)

Research question:
What should the new art courses for the digital generation look like ?

Keywords: art education, game design, youth culture, augmented reality, performing arts, music, peer 2 peer learning

In co-operation with the Centrum voor Kunst en Cultuur -Centre for Arts and Culture- (CKC) and The City Council in Zoetermeer 
This project encompasses a hands-on training for educators of the CKC given by our student team and their supervisors. The project focuses on the connection with young people, the digital generation, and aims to provide them with a digital art lab in the former theatre space of CKC. The training will be built around small digital projects and will finally result in the realization of a cross-media performance, all in close collaboration with the staff of the centre and the users. We will research peer 2 peer learning experiences and generate new ideas for the digital CKC courses in the near future. The project wants explicitly to appeal to the group of young people that are already using digital media and therefore encourages web based, gaming and an augmented reality approach. Apart from the hands-on practice we also aim to deliver a blueprint for art and culture centres 2.0. Students with a background in performing arts, music, education, gaming, peer2peer learning, augmented reality and media studies are especially encouraged to apply.
Runtime: September 2010 through September 2011, applications for 1 or 2 semesters accepted. We offer an internship fee and free housing for Master and PhD students. For application forms, http://www.patchingzone.net/
