Second Life Artists Residency
Application closing date: 27 July 2007
The Australia Council for the Arts is offering up to $20,000 for a
collaborative artist residency in the virtual world of Second Life.
The aim of the residency is to offer Australian artists and writers
the opportunity to creatively and critically explore new interactive,
virtual platforms.
The residency allows for a collaborative team of up to three people
(including a writer, musician/sound artist and digital visual media
practitioner) to develop inter-disciplinary artwork in Second Life.
Applications will be accepted from teams who fulfil all the residency
requirements, including having the necessary artform experience.
Artists or writers who have professional experience in more than one
of the required artform areas can include this as part of their
submission.
Program purpose:
The Second Life artist residency is an initiative of the Literature
Board, Music Board and Inter-Arts Office of the Australia Council.
The residency is in-world and requires artists and writers to
explore the possibilities of inter-disciplinary literary, music/sound
art and digital visual media practices.
The successful team will develop new artistic in-world practices and
comment on the social and cultural layers that have evolved in Second
Life.
Key requirements of the project are a clear strategy for harnessing
both in-world and real life audiences and developing public
exhibition opportunities for the artwork in Australia.
