Radar is an innovative programme of digital artists' residencies in
public libraries across the county of Lancashire, in the North West of
England. It is a partnership between leading digital arts agency folly
and the Lancashire County Library and Information Service. See
http:www.folly.co.uk/programme/radar
We are currently seeking an international artist (someone who's main
home is outside of the UK), to become Radar's second artist in
residence, based at the Harris Library, Preston, Lancashire, UK.
The goal of Radar is to explore relationships between the virtual and
physical cultural experiences on offer and potentially available
through libraries; to consider the role of libraries as free and
accessible public gateways to culture, and the implications of the
evolution of digital culture on this core function. Resident artists
are expected to do this through engaging collaboratively and
creatively with library users and staff.
