Vivo ARTE.MOV and NIMk are excited to launch a collaborative residency
to develop an art project or workshop programme for mobile lab and
presentation platforms. The residence is for two people: a curator or
artist living or residing in Brazil, and a curator or artist living in
the Netherlands. The total residence period will be 2 months, divided
between Amsterdam and São Paulo.<br> <br> CONTEXT<br>
In August 2011, NIMk started touring its Media Art Mobile (MKM) and
would like to further develop its programme. Vivo ARTE.MOV is currently
developing its mobile media art lab, and is searching for input for the
development of a platform to extend the current actions of its
programme. In addition to the technical infrastructure of the media art
mobiles, the art project/workshop programme can also draw on the
organisations’ rich video and media arts collections.<br> <br> The
collaboration aims to investigate a mobile platform in all its various
contexts. Because of their nomadic character and appearance, mobile
media labs/platforms can help to create temporary environments for
curiosity and openness, and enable a crossing of diverse cultural,
social and economic backgrounds. Mediation plays a crucial role in the
interaction between such an approach and its audience.<br> <br> PURPOSE<br>
We are looking for art projects or workshop programmes that involve
local communities in innovative, meaningful and exciting ways. Moreover,
the proposals should question how temporary interventions facilitated
by media labs could generate meaning within a specific context for local
groups, and/or a more ad hoc audience. In other words, what components
do these interventions (workshop or art project) need to address the
interests and needs of the audience, and how can their impact last
beyond the very limited time period of the intervention itself?<br> <br> The art project or workshop programme should be directed towards one or more target groups in the following contexts:<br> 1. Popular culture and media arts festivals, (such as DEAF2012 in Rotterdam & Vivo ARTE.MOV Festival in São Paulo);<br> 2. Higher education institutions, schools and vocational organisations (students between 15 and 17 years of age);<br> 3. Health care institutions.<br> <br> TIMELINE CALL<br> Deadline for submissions: 14 November 2011<br> Final decision: 1 December 2011<br> Duration / timing of residency: 2 months in the period February to April 2012<br> <br> OUTLINE OF THE RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY<br> The residency is organised by Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMk), Amsterdam & Arte.mov, Brasil (more details below).<br> <br>
The residency is aimed at developing a workshop programme or art
project with a strong participatory component for the organisations’
mobile media art labs. The conceptual framework should be centred on the
critical inquiry of a mobile platform in mediated contexts, as outlined
above.<br> <br> The Brazilian and the Dutch curator/artist will spend a
month in each city, starting in Amsterdam in February/March and moving
on to São Paulo in March/April. Although the residents do not need to
develop a common project, we do want to encourage a continuous dialogue
during their research and development process, and they would work in
the same cities at the same time.<br> The organisations will provide
targeted support (in the form of resources, space, technical support,
local context and time) relevant to each stage of the project
development. Depending on the nature of the selected curatorial/artistic
project, additional partners will be sought in Brazil and the
Netherlands who can provide additional think- and/or workspaces during
the residency and who will optimise the process and results.<br> <br>
The residency will also offer the opportunity to explore the potential
for collaboration and exchange with creative peers across the
organisations, and share knowledge as widely as possible through a
structured programme including:<br> - Regularly scheduled conceptual and technical critiques;<br> - Online documentation of the project process;<br> - Research dissemination through a range of social media;<br> - Scheduled events for discussion with both peers and public;<br> - Facilitated meetings with other cultural and media arts organisations.<br> <br>
At the end of the programme, the curator/artist in residence will be
expected to present and demonstrate the results of their project and
produce a research report that considers process, findings and value.
The creative process and production phase should be documented by the
curator/artist in a blog. This will be published online with an
evaluation report and disseminated through the wider networks of the
organisations involved.<br> <br> WE OFFER:<br> - A
1-month residency period at each of the organisations. Specific dates at
each location will be determined in consultation with the selected
curator/artist.<br> - A modest artist/curator fee of €2000.<br> - A maximum production budget of €1500, depending on the nature of the project.<br>

The Artist in Residence (AiR) programme at the Netherlands Media Art
Institute supports the exploration and development of new work in
digital/interactive/network media and technology-based arts practice.
The residency provides time and resources to artists in a supportive
environment to facilitate the creation of new works that are produced
from an open source perspective. We encourage a cross-disciplinary and
experimental approach. This is a practice-based residency designed to
enable the development and completion of a new work. The Netherlands
Media Art Institute offers an open environment with technical assistance
and an active advisory board, which will provide feedback and support
on technical, conceptual and presentation issues. There is access to
studio and exhibition equipment, technical support from the Institute's
staff, and production assistance from interns. We expect the artist to
have knowledge about and insights into the technical realisation of the
concept (if required).<br> <br> More information on the Media Arts Mobile (MKM), can be found online:<br> <a href="http://nimk.nl/eng/michiel-kluiters-designs-mediaartmobile"><span class="blue">http://nimk.nl/eng/michiel-kluiters-designs-mediaartmobile</span></a><br> <a href="http://nimk.nl/eng/news/the-mediaartmobile-is-on"><span class="blue">http://nimk.nl/eng/news/the-mediaartmobile-is-on</span></a><br> <a href="http://nimk.nl/eng/calendar/moving-still-uitmarkt-amsterdam-2011"><span class="blue">http://nimk.nl/eng/calendar/moving-still-uitmarkt-amsterdam-2011</span></a><br> <a href="http://nimk.nl/blog/nimk/"><span class="blue">http://nimk.nl/blog/nimk/</span></a><br> <br> VIVO ARTE.MOV (Belo Horizonte and São Paulo, BRZ)<br> <a href="http://artemov.net/"><span class="blue">http://artemov.net/ </span></a><br>
Vivo ARTE.MOV is a platform dedicated to the production of and critical
thinking about the ‘culture of mobility’. By prioritising the conscious
use of mobile media, the organisation intends to create ways of sharing
knowledge and expertise. Its cultural programme focuses on access to
information and new artistic practices, exploring the creative
possibilities in the field of mobile and locative media and its
insertion in social and public spaces. In addition, the programme aims
to promote research about the changes in contemporary society, resulting
from the spread of mobile technologies and digital culture. The
organisation offers workshops, debates and art residencies, as well as
an international art festival on mobile media.<br> <br> FACILITATORS:<br> Annette Wolfsberger / Annet Dekker (NL): <a href="http://aaaan.net"><span class="blue">http://aaaan.net</span></a><br> Gisela Domschke (BRZ): <a href="http://www.giselad.com"><span class="blue">http://www.giselad.com</span></a><br> Lucas Bambozzi / Rodrigo Minelli (BR) -<a href="http://www.artemov.net"><span class="blue"> www.artemov.net</span></a><br> <br> If you have any further queries about this call, please contact <a href="mailto:call@nimk.nl"><span class="blue">call@nimk.nl</span></a><br> <br>
