Goldsmiths Thursday Club: Call for Projects, 2009 2010 season OPEN CALL FOR PROJECTS & PROPOSALS The Thursday Club is an open forum discussion group for anyone interested in the theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity, interactivity, technologies and philosophies of the state-of-the-art in todays (and tomorrows) cultural landscape(s). The Club is supported by the Goldsmiths Digital Studios (GDS) and the Goldsmiths Graduate School. Originally set up in October 2005 by GDS as a more informal setting for research discussions, it has grown to include over 200 members: artists, technologists, scientists in fact, a growing diversity of people from different communities worldwide, that are connected via a mailing list and online forum. Most importantly, there are regular meetings in real space at the Ben Pimlott site of Goldsmiths, University of London. Anyone can attend these events. By keeping these meetings free, informal and open to all, we provide a platform for diverse and open ended discourse, for people who perhaps would not have the opportunity to discuss ideas outside of their chosen discipline. The Thursday Club brings together people from diverse fields and degrees of expertise, aiming to initiate discussion and debates among postgraduate students, researchers, academics, artists, theorists, and other cultural practitioners. Since it focuses on interdisciplinary practices, the Club is interested to experiment with innovative formats of presentation that are appropriate to the nature of the subject. We particularly welcome the proposal of round table discussions, panels, screenings, hearings, live gigs and performance lectures. We are also interested to platform experimental work-in-progress of both practical and theoretical nature. Submission Materials 1. A Title and 300 word abstract of your proposal 2.
