Eyebeam Fellowships
Overview of Eyebeam Fellowships
The application process for Eyebeam's 2007/08 Fellowship program is
currently open. The deadline for applications is August 6, 2007.
All applicants will be informed of their application status by
October 1, 2007. The program duration is for 11 months, running
from November to September.
Fellowships will be offered in the R&D OpenLab, the Production Lab
and the Education Lab. The focus of the Fellowships varies
depending on the tools and skills available and the creative
objectives and philosophy of each Lab. Up to five Fellowships will
be granted for 2007/08.
For all of the Fellowships we are seeking applications from
artists, hackers, designers, engineers and creative technologists
to come to Eyebeam for a year to undertake new research and develop
new work. The ideal Fellow has experience working with and making
innovative technological art and/or creative technology projects
and has a passion for collaborative development. Fellows will bring
this experience and working approach to their own independent
projects, projects initiated by other Residents or Fellows and
projects conceived collaboratively during the Fellowship period.
Fellows are selected from an open call. International applicants
are welcome to apply although we do not have the resources to
provide travel or accommodation. We are happy to work with selected
applicants, where required, to help them to secure funds to cover
these expenses. International Fellows are responsible for securing
their own visas for the Fellowship period.
Fellows receive a $30,000 stipend and health benefits during their
stay. They are able to take on additional external teaching or
consulting work, but there is an expectation that Fellows will be
working at Eyebeam a minimum of four days a week.
Collaborative partnerships at Eyebeam will be fostered though group
critiques, discussions and projects, within and between the lab
environments and residency programs. Fellows also benefit from
critiques, lectures and workshops by external practitioners chosen
for their relationship to subjects and projects being worked on in
the Labs.
All Fellows are encouraged to share their skills and knowledge with
the larger Eyebeam community by conducting formal and/or informal
workshops with others in the Labs as well as possible workshops
open to the public. There are also opportunities to develop work
for performance, events, seminars, exhibition or other public
programming in the Eyebeam galleries (and beyond) during the term
of the fellowship.
Core to our principle at Eyebeam is the brokering of relationships
between artists, hackers, coders, engineers and other creative
technologists and the contexts we provide. The intention is to
foster and facilitate relationships whereby technologists and
artists can come together to germinate and hothouse their ideas,
develop new processes and create new works through a period of
immersion in a social context which is rich in technology,
expertise and ideas.
Research Themes
We also support research groups to bring together creative
practitioners working at Eyebeam as well as expert external
participants. New research leads to possible public outcomes
including seminars, public discussion and exhibition.
Research themes for 2007/08 include (though will not be limited to):
* Energy, Technology and Sustainability
* Urban research, urban interventions and media in public space
Artists and creative technologists interested in these research
areas are particularly encouraged to apply for 2007/08 Fellowships.
Application Requirements
Applications received after the deadline of August 6, 2007, will
not be accepted. All applications and work samples must be
submitted through the online form. No exceptions will be made. You
can create a user/password during the application process and log
back into the server to update your application before the final
deadline.
Complete applications must include the following information:
* Contact Information
* Resume or CV (rtf or pdf doc)
* Work samples in the form of URLs or uploaded media
o Include a project description with your work sample that explains
your contribution to the piece, how it was meant to be viewed and
how it relates to your proposed project(s).
* Concise responses to all application questions
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Please read the guidelines for each of the Fellowships carefully.
Each working environment has different sets of tools and different
mentors/trainers for these tools, so applicants should consider
which environment will best suit their own needs and experience.
However, all artists, technologists and residents have access to
resources across all three labs and programs.
