Deadline extended: Liminal Screen Co-production Residency

This residency will focus its inquiry on the transitions between screen and life, as the screen reinforces its central position as a ubiquitous communications portal, data visualization surface, and frame on an ever more meditated world.

The process of the residency is open-ended. In the company of peers, participants can complete, develop, or experiment with screen-based work. The artists selected for the program will receive technical and programming support as needed. Dedicated studio time is supplemented with a program of group activities including peer critique, thematic screenings and discussion. Residents will also receive studio visits from senior artists, technicians and curators; and access to broader art-based resources of The Banff Centre. Practitioners from all walks of screen-based practice are encouraged to apply.

Program dates: February 25 - March 27, 2010

From August 10- 15, the Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre will present the 14th installment of its acclaimed new media summit, where media makers from Canada and the world gather to reflect on the current state of new media and the shape of things to come. At Interactive Screen, producers, investors, and policymakers convene with artists, technologists, and cultural researchers in the majestic mountain setting of Banff.

Interactive Screen aims to stimulate the creation of emotionally powerful, creatively inspired, and economically viable new media in Canada and abroad. Participants invariably come away from the event with new projects and alliances, a refined set of skills, and a renewed faith in the cultural power of new media.

Part conference, part festival, part peer exchange, part creative workshop, Interactive Screen is always intensive. This year’s theme, The Makers, will explore the idea of a “society of makers”. This ties into the “cultural object” with a focus on those who “make culture,” not those who own it.

Workshop participants are joined by Interactive Screen scholarship participants from Canada, who are invited to pitch and develop projects inspired by the event’s theme. Applications for the Interactive Screen Scholarship Program will be accepted until July 10, 2009 (more information: http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=863).
