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.

BarCamp Sydney is on again and it’s been dubbed the Recession Edition. In keeping with the Recession theme of BarCamp there are a few changes. Like a new venue, at the Australian Technology Park (ATP) Innovations Centre.
Constantly looking for ideas, we open us discussion in The Think Tank room – a small room with no projector and no tech – just enough room for a small group of people discussing ideas. And what better ideas to discuss than ideas about the future.
More detailed information to come but check out the website and stay informed and block out Saturday June 27 for BarCamp Sydney and put your thinking hats on to present a ripper of a session.
