The Research and Creation Fellowship aims to > advance the experimental nature of media art, contribute to CAC's > research and educational mission, foster global exchange, and explore > new models collecting new media art work. > The Fall 2015 Season Fellowship will sponsor one international > artist/researcher (individual or team) to engage with the Shanghai and > other Chinese art, and technology communities. The selected Fellow > will be expected to work in CAC's laboratory with CAC's research and > creation team on a range of activities including: active contribution > to the larger CAC community, collaborative partnership with other > residents, leading research initiatives, educational programs and > public engagement, and developing current or future research areas for > the organization. Developed projects, including prototypes, > documentation, and work-in-progress, will be presented to the public > at Chronus Art Center. > > *FELLOWSHIP FOCUS* > In the inaugural year of the Research and Creation Fellowship program, > we are seeking exploratory and innovative proposals that explore > artistic applications of emerging technologies, and have the potential > to engage CAC and the public to learn alongside artists and creative > technologists developing thought-provoking work. Proposed projects > should relate to one or multiple of the following areas: > 1. Emotive Networks & Haptic Gaming: Using networking and Internet > technologies to share biofeedback data (EEG and ECG as well as other > body-based sensors, wearable technology, etc.) and physical computing > to create body-actuators (haptic and force feedback) in order to > produce expanded/immersive gaming and telematic experiences, > performances, interactive objects and responsive environments. > 2. Generative Art and Big Data: online back-end (server), front-end > (interface) programming and internet enabled hardware/objects focused > on the development of real-time data-mining and scrapping > applications, generative art, interactive installations and dynamic > sculptures, which utilize and process data using swarming, flocking, > machine learning and genetic algorithms. > 3. Intelligent Audio-visual Systems: Augmented and virtual reality, > mobile technology and/or custom hardware to explore non-linear, > experimental narratives in cinema, T.V, mobile devices and other > media. Autonomous audiovisual and/or music systems that make use of > participatory dynamics, in both physical and virtual spaces and > explore the use of the large-scale, 360 degree projection system > located at CAC. > 4. Existential Technologies: This line of research explores the use of > wearable technology, robotics, interactive media and physical > computing in order to examine fundamental ontological questions > regarding the nature of reality and human perception; synesthesia, > sensory substitution, sensory augmentation, etc. > 5. It from bit: Aesthetic objects that examine the ideas of simulation > and representation through the hybridization of digital and physical > forms. The transmutation of bits into atoms and vice-versa becomes the > exploration of new forms of art in the field of mixed and mediated > reality through physical computing, VR and AR. > > *FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT* > One selected Fellow (either as an individual or as a team) will be > offered a total amount of USD30,000 grant for a period of one year to > cover travel, accommodation and stipend, including materials during > his/her residency in Shanghai. > CAC will provide the necessary paperwork and advice for the process of > visa application and help identify local accommodation in Shanghai. > CAC will work closely with the selected Fellow to ensure the > realization of the proposed project and offer program support in > developing work for performance, events, seminars, exhibitions, or > other public and educational programming during the term of the > Fellowship.
