Dear Leonardo Colleagues,
Leonardo is co-sponsoring a working group, ARTSACTIVE, of
organizations involved in artists residencies in arts and science labs
in universities and industry.
As part of this we are collaborating with the Disonancias 2006 Project
who have just issued a call for artists proposals. We encourage you to
disseminate this information widely to interested artists (see below).
I note that June 16 is the deadline for artists proposals for the
Space Science Labs, UC Berkeley artists residency

DISONANCIAS 2006 (Art and Innovation)

Promoter: Grupo Xabide. For more information:info at disonancias.com
The call for artists to participate in DISONANCIAS 2006 is now open.
DISONANCIAS (Art and innovation) is the second round of this art and
industry collaboration project located in the Basque Country, Spain.
The project seeks to promote the diversification in relation to the
process of innovation inside research labs and R & D units here, based
on the potentials of experience and exchange generated by the
relationship with artists.
Ten artists will be chosen to collaborate with research teams in
companies and labs, in order to encourage "deviations and dissonances"
from the regular logical thought and action processes, in the hope of
leading to a news definition of prototypes for different products or
different approaches toward production.
Artists are asked to research concepts, to think up new products or to
reinvent formats (according to companies and labs interests) in
DAISALUX, EITB, EL CORREO, EUVE Technology Centre, FORMICA, GAIKER
Technology Centre, GRUPO ALFA LAN, KAIKU, LEIA Technology Centre y
VICOMTech Technology Centre.
The deadline for applications is 5 July 2006. We encourage artists to
apply who normally work on collective and relational projects and/or
on projects related to science and technology. There are no limits
regarding age, nationality or place of residence in order to take part
in the project.
The Jury consists of Roger Malina, astrophysicist at the Laboratory of
Spatial Astronomy of the CNRS at Marseille (France), and executive
editor of Leonardo publications on Arts and Sciences, Jill Scott,
Director of "The Artistsinlabs" project and professor and vice
director of Z-node PHD Program in Art and Science at the Institute of
Cultural Studies in Art, Media and design at the Academy of Art and
Design in Zurich (Switzerland) and Santi Eraso, Director of Arteleku
(Public Art Centre) in Donostia - San Sebastian (Spain).
The 10 artists (or group of artists) selected will receive a fee of
5.000 euros each, and a minimum of 1.300 euros for travel, food and
accommodation. In addition, each artist is entitled to a maximum of
5.000 euros (depending on the project) for expenses driving from the
development of the research. The collaborations last 6 months each,
alternating virtual and presential relations according to the
project's needs.
Full information on the companies and research centers participating
and the rules for participation are available at www.disonancias.com.
