> increase their skills and confidence.
>
> We are looking for an artist to develop ideas for a digital arts
> project, using the recycled/reclaimed "redundant" technology and
> open-source software available in Access Space.
>
> After a successful audio-based residency during November 2002,
> the successful proposal for this will contain a strong visual
> element.

>
> The Residency
>
> The successful applicant will get the opportunity to work for a 10
> day period (or 80 hour equivalent) in Access Space's open environment,
> during April 2003, with some technical support and advice. As part

> session and an informal presentation for Access Space users and
> members of the public, as well as documenting the process in the form
> of an online diary.
>
> The Fee
