The Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts has set the
goal for itself of promoting the wide development, application and
distribution of, and reflection on new technologies in the visual arts.
Starting in 2002, the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based
Arts is inviting artists from The Netherlands and other countries to apply
for a three till six months research period to carrying out investigations
in three areas:
Streaming media
Wireless applications
3D applications
In 2002 and 2003 we are focussing on streaming media. One of the current
disadvantages of live and on-demand streaming media on the Internet (video /
audio) is the confined space in which streaming media applications run.
Often this is not more than a linear interpolation of current video and
television formats in existence. This is emphasised by the media player,
which often is no more than a representation of a television only with low
quality imagery and sound. This confinement is a restriction for creating
and investigating new formats for streaming media.
Artistic concept, innovation and cooperation are to be central in the
research projects. Preference will be given to research which makes use of
"open source" and that develops "tools" which will be available for further
use. Investigations that have an interdisciplinary character will also
receive preference. The artists will be working together with Dutch
universities and academies in the research.
An Artist in Residence will have at his/her disposal
Technical facilities, including assistance
Working budget
Housing
Technical specialists advise the participating artists during research,
experiments and production.
The outcome of the research will be presented in an appropriate manner,
through exhibitions, discussions, seminars, publications and workshops.
