Geek in Residence and the Digital Culture Fund new programs for ANAT

ANAT welcomes two Australia Council programs that are inviting digital enthusiasts to get more creative in the digital era.

Launched in October, Geek in Residence and the Digital Culture Fund will support artists and technicians in developing each other’s skills and creativity. The programs are part of the Australia Council’s strategic priority to increase the creation, distribution, preservation and enjoyment of Australian arts content across all digital platforms.

Geek in Residence brings the expertise of technically confident artists and creative technicians together with a host organisation. The pilot program will seed innovative digital arts practices by providing artists and technicians with the opportunity to share their skills, ideas and experiences.

The Digital Culture Fund is a pilot grant program available to practitioners who are experienced working creatively with digital technologies. The Australia Council is asking initially for expressions of interest from these new creators working at the frontier of digital technology. With a strong focus on the ‘live event’, the ultimate arts projects could exist in either physical or online worlds.
