Digital Artist-in-Residence
The Pace Digital Gallery and The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) is pleased
to offer an independent artist's residency in Spring 2005. We are offering
a digital artist the opportunity to work with CAM's resources to produce
a new artwork.
Site
The Center for Advanced Media (CAM) Is a research environment located
in Pace University's School of Computer Science and Information Systems
in downtown New York City. Its goal is to develop computer-oriented, human-centered
systems that help people solve problems by transforming the way they experience
the world and the way they collaborate within it. CAM is founded on Pace
University's collective faculty experiences in software engineering, human-computer
interaction, information visualization, and computer graphics. These computing
fields are fundamentally human-centric, with design as the common approach
to complex representational problems. Because visual artists, musicians,
and writers possess different perceptual, design, and representational
skills, CAM is interested in augmenting its computer science foundations
with participants who work in the arts and humanities to broaden the research
and educational mix.
The Pace University’s Digital Gallery is an outgrowth of CAM's conceptual
foundation, executed as the combined initiative between CAM and Fine Arts
Department. Its goal is to foster the creation and understanding of digital
art for the benefit of Pace University and the surrounding community.
It furthers Pace University’s commitment to educational excellence,
diversity, and civic involvement by exhibiting curated work of leading
digital artists, as well as the work of Pace faculty and students. It
sponsors lectures and symposia on digital art, and supports publication
of materials for its documentation and promotion.
The Digital Gallery’s first show entitled Digital Downtown opened
to rave reviews in Spring 2003. Since then it has co-hosted a Pan-American
collaborative performance event titled Accélerateur, an installation
of video works entitled Screen Kiss, an online exhibition eBay: Buy or
Sell or Buy, student and guest-curated shows. A series of talks by digital
artists began in Fall 2004.
Residency
This
is an independent residnecy - the artist will be expected to work independently
on his her project except where technical expertise is needed, as outlined
in the proposal.
The artist-in-residence will have the opportunity to work with CAM faculty
and students whose research includes computer graphics, virtual reality,
image processing, human-computer interaction, and collaborative computing.
This work is supported by technology that includes a virtual reality display
system, networked PCs, multi-display and plasma display systems, projectors,
video cameras, scanners, etc.
The artist-in-residence will be expected to produce a new artwork during
their tenure at Pace (January 30 - May 10, 2005), which will remain the
property of the artist. Pace Digital Gallery will produce, with the artist,
a printed brochure about the work completed in residence, and will expect
the artist to give a presentation of their work to the Pace Community
and the general public. Pace Digital Gallery will also feature the artist
on our website, and in gallery space at Pace University - the artist will
be involved in all aspects of installation. There will be a modest stipend,
but no living accommodations or travel funding are provided. Access to
equipment will be Monday through Friday from 8:00AM to 6:00PM, and Saturday
from 8:00AM to 3:00PM. Artists outside of the New York area are welcomed
but are strongly encouraged to apply for external funding.
Pace University affirms its commitment to the principle of equal Career
Opportunities as stated in Federal, State, and local laws, which prohibits
discrimination because of sex, race, age, ethnicity, marital or domestic
partnership status, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, disability
or veteran.
The artist will be chosen by a jury comprised of the gallery directors,
as well as a local artist and curator.
