OPPORTUNITY

Artist placement with Adobe: opportunity for UK based artists.


Deadline:
Fri Aug 25, 2006 09:36

Arts Council England, Adobe/Macromedia, Montalvo Arts Center in
Saratoga California and The Junction are pleased to announce an
opportunity for an artist to work with Adobe's San Jose and San
Francisco based research labs while in residence at Montalvo's Lucas
Artists Program.

Adobe/Macromedia are interested in exploring the creative boundaries
of their product vision for mobile technology. They wish to
collaborate with an artist who has an established practice in visual,
narrative, communicative or interactive/social media, and a high
level of computer skill. The artist will be expected to collaborate
with Adobe staff, potentially including technicians, programmers,
designers and product development teams.

This placement will explore the boundaries between creative, social
and technical practice and could focus on audio/visual, sensory,
graphical and video presence within geographic, conceptual or social
spaces. The chosen artist will be invited to question notions of
performance and audience, and the part that mobile technology can
play within dispersed collective social experience.

The placement will be managed by the Junction, providing support for
the artist and giving opportunities for the presentation of work in
progress.

Dancers change the colour of their skin… Bodies duplicate, dissolve and

fiction movie, but you can experience it live this week across England, in Vivisector, the mind-blowing collaboration between cross-media artist Klaus Obermaier and choreographer Chris Haring. Vivisector lifts contemporary dance into a new dimension, producing a new aesthetic in which light, body, video and
