The digital residencies provide an online space on our website for artists to develop works, ideas and practices. Three residencies will take place online between October – January, with each selected artist having one month to complete a proposed project along the theme of: Media Archaeology/ Zombie Media. Media archaeologists have challenged the rejection of history by modern media culture and theory alike by pointing out unnoticed continuities and ruptures. We are interested in proposals from practitioners who work with media archaeological techniques. The residencies are open to artists working in any discipline and/or medium, and from anywhere in the world.However, we are particularly interested in proposals from artist working with: New media, video, Sonic art,performance, live works and cross-disciplinary practices. Chosen artists must submit at least one post per week. Residency dates are: Mon 19th October 2015 – Sun 15th Nov 2015 Mon 16th November – Sun 13th Dec 2015 Mon 14th December – Sun 17th Jan 2016 Please list the dates of residencies in order of preference on your proposal.
