NEW COMMISSION - INVITATION TO TENDER
The Northern Way Virtual Gateway Commission
The Northern Way, working with Arts Council England to deliver the £10m
'Welcome to the North' public art programme, wishes to commission a truly
innovative and original virtual artwork 'Gateway to the North'.
Tenders are invited from organisations seeking to work with a named
artist(s), individual artists or collaborating artists for this major
commission.
The emphasis of this new commission will be on its virtual long-term
presence, although it can also include physical manifestations that make a
link between the real and virtual, and is open to a range of artforms and
media including: sound, software art, blogging, performance and events,
online worlds and mapping systems eg Second Life, GoogleEarth. The proposals
will need to include a web-based accessible platform and applicants are also
welcome to consider the use of a number of other distribution and
presentation platforms such as podcasts and videocasts; CD and DVD; mobile
phones and locative media.
The commission will:
* Make connections across the three Northern regions
* Reference and conceptualise the North through its
geographical, social, cultural and economic landscapes
* Provide an opportunity for all users to engage with the
commission
* Provide a platform which is accessible to local, regional,
national and international audiences
* Represent or consider the North in all its diversity.
The proposal will also need to include a detailed education programme,
evaluation programme and PR/marketing.
The commission must be completed no later than the end of March 2008.
The commission is open to artists in the UK and beyond.
