THREE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITIES IN WALES, UK OPEN TO ALL 
ARTISTS WORLDWIDE

MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES
Cardiff festival of creative technology
28th to 30th October 2005
MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES is Cardiff's inaugural festival of 
creative technology - a three-day programme of events being held 
across the capital. The festival is being developed between bloc and 
Chapter. The residency programme for the festival is supported and 
managed by Cywaith Cymru/Artworks Wales), the national organisation 
for public art in Wales. The festival residencies are supported 
through the National Lottery celebration of Cardiff 2005.

Festival Theme:
Artists are increasingly engaged with or inspired by digital 
technology - exploring consumer and communication technologies such 
as the worldwide web, mobile networks, file sharing, and computer 
gaming. Because digital technology is a participatory medium with 
global reach, artists tend to explore digital technology in the 
context of public and shared spheres. Often digital art is situated 
somewhere between public art - albeit in a dematerialised form - and 
street culture where the technology itself is used as a 'site' for 
the production and presentation of art works. Although digital 
technology is often claimed to go beyond physical limitations, 
engagement with technology is always embedded in, or grounded in, 
real spaces and places whether this is explored from a user or 
network perspective.

MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES is looking for three artist/s-in-residence:
LIVE ARCHIVE RESIDENCY, Cardiff, UK
CONVERGENCE RESIDENCY, Cardigan, West Wales, UK
MAY YOU PARTICIPATE IN A DIGITAL WORLD RESIDENCY, mobile studio,
