Enghien-les-bains, France RAN (Digital Arts Network) Call for proposals for digital productions
For artists and researchres http://www.ran-dan.net/images/call_for_proposals A platform for exchange, exploration and co-production for the digital arts, bringing together facilities for international production, broadcasting, training and research, the RAN (Digital Arts Network) is launching a first call for proposals aimed at artists, scientists, technicians, businesses, scenographers, computer graphists, visual artists, musicians and multimedia creators. The initiative of the artistic creation must come from artists themselves and not directly from cultural, industrial or scientific organisations. That is why, the RAN organisations launch this call for proposals to develop the best conditions to detect artistic projects and to allow them to be created. The aim is to develop through this experience a common methodology of coproduction. Based on this premise, the members of the RAN give to this pilot Call for Projects the following objectives: 1. Allow innovative artistic projects to be created and distributed ; 2. Bring to the forefront problems so theoretical as technical and\or economic of the creation, the production and the distribution of technological and artistic works and bring them pragmatic solutions; 3. Increase the sharing of knowledges, skills and tools, by working on exemplary cases and from concrete projects; 4. Stimulate the mobility of the professionals between places and organisations which often suffer from having big specialisation and depart mentalised within the organisation; 5. Develop the cross-disciplinary cooperations: scientific, technical and artistic. That is why this pilot Call for Proposals emphasizes the necessity for the applicants to work via objective agreements between researchers and artists within identified platforms. It seems the best base to create the conditions of a creative meeting and a work synergy between the cultural, training and scientific (or industrial) organisations of the network and the artists, scientists, researchers applicants. The developement of the/these pilot project(s), selected by a jury ad hoc, will include a research and creation pathway, specific for each project, in the various organisations of the network which will have undertaken to coproduce them/it. It will include also the sharing of ressources, skills, equipment, financing and distribution. The working stages proposed to the artists will be the following ones: 1. Reflection and research; 2. Possible Training; 3. Experimentation in the structures ad hoc; 4. Creation and production; 5. Distribution. However, the RAN dont want to fix a stiff chronology in the artistic approach or a predefined hierarchy in research, creation and production stages. The selected projects will keep their own logic of systems. This precaution aims to certify to the artists and to the researchers to follow-up their work from the beginning to the end ; while at present, in the practice, time of the experiment dont differ to time of production. What are the project categories? Three types of project are: 1. Live performances employing digital resources 2. Installations using digital resources 3. Net.art Proposals must be submitted by a team composed of at least one artist and one scientist/engineer. Applicants must present a project that has not been completed or produced already, a work in progress or a model. Projects must be original. Applicants must also have raised 20% of the funding required for their project, whatever the source and form of this financing. The project or projects selected will be co-financed or co-produced by at least three RAN members, who will name among them an executive producer. They could search any sources of support outside the RAN They/it will be created and/or produced at successive residencies at the premises of these members, who will provide their know-how and own resources. Each co-producer will take in charge the financing and the organization of the stage which he welcomes directly or indirectly. Each co-producer will programme the production for their respective audiences and finance the related costs and fees regarding the distribution. data limita: 01/03/11 Kontakt: RAN - centre des arts 12/16 rue de la libération 95880 Enghien-les-bains France tel: + 33 1 39 64 11 39 [email protected] http://www.ran-dan.net sursa:artservis -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://oberliht.com . . . . . . . . . . . https://lists.idash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ Oberlist mailing list [email protected] https://lists.idash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
