Hi Helen,
Coincidentally, I've included a snippet about Eric Clapton in one of
chapters - he does not come out good...
"In August 1976, Eric Clapton while he was drunk publicly declared his
"support for Enoch Powell (the racist Tory minister famous for his
'rivers of blood' campaign against immigration) at a gig in
Birmingham." (Huddle 2004)
Clapton's statement (only eight years after Powell's in 1968) was all
the more offensive and hypocritical because he began his own solo career
by recording his hugely successful selling cover version of Bob Marley's
song I shot the Sherriff."
Wishing you well.

... i couldn't help but notice that they have a team of 22 people (not
artists) working on this project (not counting the board of directors)
yet they still manage to have broken links in the call information ...
& i can't find any mention anywhere of tech specs, or formats, or what
kind of technologies they might accept or not (other than live
streaming not being innovative enough ;)); seems to be quite a big
omission in a call for groundbreaking digital art.

it is pretty funny really - if they believe it's not possible to push
boundaries, or be innovative or risky in the areas of performance
capture, live streaming, or archives, then they are not very
imaginative.
in my experience, " a free website for artists and audiences to
create and explore exciting new art, commissioned by us and shared
around the Whole Wide World" (how the space is described) is not at
all an innovative idea (apart from the phrase "commissioned by us"),
& not necessarily something that will push boundaries or take risks
either ...
it will be interesting to see what meets their criteria & is deemed
worthy of funding, but i have to say it sounds a lot like the tate's
sudden invention of online performance in 2012 ;)

Hiyas,
Check "eligibility"..
* What is Not Eligible
We will not commission the following activities:
activities that are not related to the arts or creative industries
activities that do not push boundaries, encourage innovation and risk.
For example, performance capture, live streaming, creating and
managing Archives
--------->
Does this imply that live streaming & performance capture/sharing - eg the
performative writing that a few people here are evolving - is inherently
"non-innovative" somehow??!!!!!! What am I missing??
Or
That archiving, indeed the dead-sea archives that focus on links rather
than material/media of work, and live inside the earth, by being archives
are somehow inherently confined by un-pushable boundaries?
Or
Am I doing a misreading of the text..?
Cheers and all the very bests for the week and for people who DO apply!!!
(indeed, i might too..)

I know nothing about the context of this project. But is it just me or
does it bear a resemblance to the Place project run by Doug Rocket in
Nathan Barley?
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/feb/12/tvandradio.theguide1
Founder member of seminal 1980s politi-synth electro rock duo the
Veryphonics, Doug Rocket is one of the most important figures to have
emerged in the history of clueless self-indulgence. Rocket's latest
project is the experimental artsphere Place, a multimillion-pound creative
enablement hive, which comprises studios, galleries, minglespace,
thoughtcupboards, flotation melds and an Eric Clapton memorial songwriting
vineyard. Place is designed to empower anyone who wishes to explore an
idea to its full potential (especially if they also declare a need to do
this in the foetal position, sustained by empowering wafts of Amazonian
oxygen and the jarred farts of Krishnamurti), and might as well be
replaced by a gigantic furnace that Rocket can shovel skyscraping piles of
banknotes into with spectral, uncomprehending joy in his eyes.
