Description
Fee: £1500
Deadline: 10am on 13 July
D-Lab is an exciting new project, supported by Arts Council England
through the National Lottery, Derbyshire County Council and Arts
Derbyshire. It aims to bring the best and most exciting new media
artists and artworks to an online audience, focussing especially on
artists and organisations in Derbyshire and the East Midlands.
We want to encourage artists to make more and better use of digital
media in their creative practice, to take risks and experiment, and to
showcase their work to an online audience.
Junction Arts is a participatory arts organisation based in the East
Midlands and is a commissioning partner of D-Lab. We have been
delivering in the Bolsover district for close to 40 years. Our primary
aim is to increase and extend access to high quality arts through
inspirational innovative participatory arts programmes and projects
through partnership and collaboration within the rural areas of the East
Midlands.
We believe that the arts changes peoples lives, builds confidence,
self-esteem, increases communication and supports community and personal
empowerment.
We are inviting proposals from digital artists to develop a new and
innovative online response to Junction Arts' Rural programme in the East
Midlands area, showcasing new and existing work, through an interactive
online element
Starting points might be an investigation of the interplay between
‘routes’ and ‘roots’, metaphors for ‘connection’, and interactive
digital maps, along with taxonomy and hierarchies. We would be
interested in commissioning an online interactive which orders and/or
connects material and perhaps investigates social media as form. We are
very much open to suggestion and being led by the artist as far as the
nature and form of the work is concerned.
We are interested in working with artists who will develop new
technologies and innovative ways of interacting with communities and
connecting with new audiences. Junction Arts would like to create new
output alongside and in response to this commission that may include
live webcasts, audio trails, and other creative interventions.
