> *APPLICATION DEADLINE*
> All applications must be received electronically by 23:59 (Beijing
> Time), Wednesday, July 1, 2015 via fellowship at chronusartcenter.org
> <mailto:fellowship at chronusartcenter.org>.
> Applicants will be informed of their application status by August 1, 2015.
>
> *FELLOWSHIP BEGINS*
> September 2015 (starting date negotiable within reason)
>
> *OVERVIEW*
> This 12-month fellowship program is designed to host international
> artists and researchers of extraordinary talent working in the area of
> new media art in order to conduct research and creation at Chronus Art
> Center (CAC) in Shanghai. The Research and Creation Fellowship aims to
> advance the experimental nature of media art, contribute to CAC's
> research and educational mission, foster global exchange, and explore
> new models collecting new media art work.
> The Fall 2015 Season Fellowship will sponsor one international
> artist/researcher (individual or team) to engage with the Shanghai and
> other Chinese art, and technology communities. The selected Fellow
> will be expected to work in CAC's laboratory with CAC's research and
> creation team on a range of activities including: active contribution
> to the larger CAC community, collaborative partnership with other
> residents, leading research initiatives, educational programs and
> public engagement, and developing current or future research areas for
> the organization. Developed projects, including prototypes,
> documentation, and work-in-progress, will be presented to the public
> at Chronus Art Center.
>
> *FELLOWSHIP FOCUS*
> In the inaugural year of the Research and Creation Fellowship program,
> we are seeking exploratory and innovative proposals that explore
> artistic applications of emerging technologies, and have the potential
> to engage CAC and the public to learn alongside artists and creative
> technologists developing thought-provoking work. Proposed projects
> should relate to one or multiple of the following areas:
> 1. Emotive Networks & Haptic Gaming: Using networking and Internet
> technologies to share biofeedback data (EEG and ECG as well as other
> body-based sensors, wearable technology, etc.) and physical computing
> to create body-actuators (haptic and force feedback) in order to
> produce expanded/immersive gaming and telematic experiences,
> performances, interactive objects and responsive environments.
> 2. Generative Art and Big Data: online back-end (server), front-end
> (interface) programming and internet enabled hardware/objects focused
> on the development of real-time data-mining and scrapping
> applications, generative art, interactive installations and dynamic
> sculptures, which utilize and process data using swarming, flocking,
> machine learning and genetic algorithms.
> 3. Intelligent Audio-visual Systems: Augmented and virtual reality,
> mobile technology and/or custom hardware to explore non-linear,
> experimental narratives in cinema, T.V, mobile devices and other
> media. Autonomous audiovisual and/or music systems that make use of
> participatory dynamics, in both physical and virtual spaces and
> explore the use of the large-scale, 360 degree projection system
> located at CAC.
> 4. Existential Technologies: This line of research explores the use of
> wearable technology, robotics, interactive media and physical
> computing in order to examine fundamental ontological questions
> regarding the nature of reality and human perception; synesthesia,
> sensory substitution, sensory augmentation, etc.
> 5. It from bit: Aesthetic objects that examine the ideas of simulation
> and representation through the hybridization of digital and physical
> forms. The transmutation of bits into atoms and vice-versa becomes the
> exploration of new forms of art in the field of mixed and mediated
> reality through physical computing, VR and AR.
>
> *FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT*
> One selected Fellow (either as an individual or as a team) will be
> offered a total amount of USD30,000 grant for a period of one year to
> cover travel, accommodation and stipend, including materials during
> his/her residency in Shanghai.
> CAC will provide the necessary paperwork and advice for the process of
> visa application and help identify local accommodation in Shanghai.
> CAC will work closely with the selected Fellow to ensure the
> realization of the proposed project and offer program support in
> developing work for performance, events, seminars, exhibitions, or
> other public and educational programming during the term of the
> Fellowship. CAC will also partner with appropriate local and neighbor
> organizations, facilitate joint presentations of works-in-progress,
> host conversations with the artists and display works in progress,
> revealing the creative process as it happens.
> All fellowship related activities will be documented and archived for
> future publications.
>
> *ELIGIBILITY*
> -This fellowship is open to international artists and researchers.
