Critical Blogging Residency at Artengine and Vague Terrain. Greg J. Smith.
Last year our peers at Artengine approached us about setting up a 'critical blogging residency' to promote arts writing related to the Ottawa-Gatineau area on the web. While we put out a call, received many applicants and selected a candidate for the position but—due to unforeseen circumstances—this individual was unable to complete their writing residency. We are still excited about this idea, and we are going to give it another try. The below text is a slightly edited version of an announcement made by Art Engine director Ryan Stec earlier this week. In our continuing effort to cultivate new perspectives on the media arts landscape, Vague Terrain (Toronto) and Artengine (Ottawa) open the call for the 2011 Critical Blogging Residency. This residency is for an emerging critic or cultural journalist from the Ottawa-Gatineau area, who will pen a monthly cross-post for the Vague Terrain and Artengine blogs. Conceived as a creative space for expression and research into culture and technology the content and direction will be developed in partnership with the editors of both publications. The resident will also travel to Montréal for the 2011 Elektra Festival to post reviews and more from one of North America's premiere digital culture events. The resident will also receive critical feedback and professional development through the Articulation series at The Ottawa Art Gallery. Applicants must be based in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, and are requested to send a resume and letter of introduction. The letter of introduction can describe your interest in the electronic and media arts, what you would bring to the respective online publications or your involvement in previous online projects. Applicants must also submit at least two links to writings published online. more... http://tinyurl.com/5twbesp _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
