> *FELLOWSHIP BEGINS*
> September 2015 (starting date negotiable within reason)
>
> *OVERVIEW*
> This 12-month fellowship program is designed to host international 
> artists and researchers of extraordinary talent working in the area of 
> new media art in order to conduct research and creation at Chronus Art 
> Center (CAC) in Shanghai. The Research and Creation Fellowship aims to 
> advance the experimental nature of media art, contribute to CAC's 
> research and educational mission, foster global exchange, and explore 
> new models collecting new media art work.
> The Fall 2015 Season Fellowship will sponsor one international 
> artist/researcher (individual or team) to engage with the Shanghai and 
> other Chinese art, and technology communities. The selected Fellow 
> will be expected to work in CAC's laboratory with CAC's research and 
> creation team on a range of activities including: active contribution 
> to the larger CAC community, collaborative partnership with other 
> residents, leading research initiatives, educational programs and 
> public engagement, and developing current or future research areas for 
> the organization. Developed projects, including prototypes, 
> documentation, and work-in-progress, will be presented to the public 
> at Chronus Art Center.
>
> *FELLOWSHIP FOCUS*
> In the inaugural year of the Research and Creation Fellowship program, 
> we are seeking exploratory and innovative proposals that explore 
> artistic applications of emerging technologies, and have the potential 
> to engage CAC and the public to learn alongside artists and creative 
> technologists developing thought-provoking work. Proposed projects 
> should relate to one or multiple of the following areas:
> 1. Emotive Networks & Haptic Gaming: Using networking and Internet 
> technologies to share biofeedback data (EEG and ECG as well as other 
> body-based sensors, wearable technology, etc.) and physical computing 
> to create body-actuators (haptic and force feedback) in order to 
> produce expanded/immersive gaming and telematic experiences, 
> performances, interactive objects and responsive environments.
> 2. Generative Art and Big Data: online back-end (server), front-end 
> (interface) programming and internet enabled hardware/objects focused 
> on the development of real-time data-mining and scrapping 
> applications, generative art, interactive installations and dynamic 
> sculptures, which utilize and process data using swarming, flocking, 
> machine learning and genetic algorithms.
> 3. Intelligent Audio-visual Systems: Augmented and virtual reality, 
> mobile technology and/or custom hardware to explore non-linear, 
> experimental narratives in cinema, T.V, mobile devices and other 
> media. Autonomous audiovisual and/or music systems that make use of 
> participatory dynamics, in both physical and virtual spaces and 
> explore the use of the large-scale, 360 degree projection system 
> located at CAC.
> 4. Existential Technologies: This line of research explores the use of 
> wearable technology, robotics, interactive media and physical 
> computing in order to examine fundamental ontological questions 
> regarding the nature of reality and human perception; synesthesia, 
> sensory substitution, sensory augmentation, etc.
> 5. It from bit: Aesthetic objects that examine the ideas of simulation 
> and representation through the hybridization of digital and physical 
> forms. The transmutation of bits into atoms and vice-versa becomes the 
> exploration of new forms of art in the field of mixed and mediated 
> reality through physical computing, VR and AR.
>
> *FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT*
> One selected Fellow (either as an individual or as a team) will be 
> offered a total amount of USD30,000 grant for a period of one year to 
> cover travel, accommodation and stipend, including materials during 
> his/her residency in Shanghai.
> CAC will provide the necessary paperwork and advice for the process of 
> visa application and help identify local accommodation in Shanghai.
> CAC will work closely with the selected Fellow to ensure the 
> realization of the proposed project and offer program support in 
> developing work for performance, events, seminars, exhibitions, or 
> other public and educational programming during the term of the 
> Fellowship. CAC will also partner with appropriate local and neighbor 
> organizations, facilitate joint presentations of works-in-progress, 
> host conversations with the artists and display works in progress, 
> revealing the creative process as it happens.
> All fellowship related activities will be documented and archived for 
> future publications.
>
> *ELIGIBILITY*
