Open Call Projects @ Artist Run Data Center
More info: http://research.radical-openness.org/2015/?page_id=23

servus.at is a cultural network-based initiative in Linz, Austria. One
of the main objectives of servus.at in running its own data center is to
implement the ideas of a "free society" in a daily practice of cultural
and artistic production dealing with technology and ultimately to
develop a network of trust.
With our Open Call for a Virtual Residency we want to encourage artists,
hacktivists and cultural producers to use this opportunity for
developing projects, artworks, software for sharing within a trusted
community.

All projects must grant the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study,
change and improve the software.

        * developing Free Software for artistic production
        * developing artistic Community Tools
        * developing artistic Software projects
        * projects which reflect on or research the post-digital dilemma
        * projects which explore the nature of information
        * experiments

We will be able to support two projects, whereby each is funded with
1.000 Euros.
