European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists (e-MobiLArt) is a
project
tailored around the process of creating collaborative interactive
installation
artworks. Such interactive mediated environments may involve the use of
multimodal interfaces, ubiquitous computing and mobile or locative
media
technologies.<br>
<br>
The e-MobiLArt project aims to provide selected participants with an
ideal
context, that will allow them to travel, collaborate and exhibit their
work.
During this project, artists and scientists who are active in creating
interactive
media art or pursuing innovative interdisciplinary research will have
the
opportunity to:<br>
<br>
- create interactive installation artworks<br>
<br>
- collaborate with other artists and scientists from different countries<br>
<br>
- get technical support and tuition from experts on using innovative
technologies for creating interactive art<br>
<br>
- meet, discuss and collaborate with curators and museum organizers<br>
<br>
- exhibit their work in at least two different European countries<br>
<br>
- document their work in a special issue of Leonardo Electronic Almanac
and the
exhibition catalogue<br>
<br>
- participate in an international network of artists, researchers,
academics
and theorists<br>
<br>
<br>
Eligibility / requirements: Artists from all disciplines are encouraged
to
apply to e-MobiLArt: interactive installation artists, video artists,
visual
artists, net artists, as well as musicians, choreographers, performance
artists
and others who wish to experiment with the use of the interactive
technologies.<br>
<br>
Individuals with a scientific background and the willingness to
experiment in a
collaborative artistic project, as described above, are also eligible.<br>
<br>
Selected participants will attend three (3) workshops. During (and in
between)
the workshops, participants will work in groups in order to develop
their
projects by:<br>
<br>
- Following an open process of artistic creation and experimentation<br>
<br>
- Getting support on technical and theoretical issues<br>
<br>
- Complementing each other's skills within an interdisciplinary
