Call for international artists to work on joint research programmes
http://www.disonancias.com/en/

DISONANCIAS 2007/08 is about bringing together international artists and
the heads of research, development and/or innovation in companies or
research centres located in the Basque Country in order for them to work
in collaboration on a research project.
The main objective of DISONANCIAS is to promote innovation processes in
companies and research teams based on an exchange generated by a
relationship with an artist.

This relationship is based on the idea that artists are also researchers
that can help to propose new and different paths of innovation,
contributing creativity and work methodologies and serving as a catalyst
for the members of a research team. DISONANCIAS also aims to give
contemporary artists the possibility of investigating with advanced media
and interacting with a business and technological framework. Similarly, it
aims to promote the idea of innovation in society and disseminate the work
of innovative companies and contemporary artists to a wide public, as well
as the importance of developing creative social environments.

The collaboration projects are defined by the following stages:

STAGE 1: the participating entities propose a field of research that may
be related to projects that they are investigating, concepts, materials,
technologies, methodologies and/or processes.

STAGE 2: on applying for the competition, the artists propose a minimum of
one or a maximum of two preliminary collaboration projects based on the
fields previously defined by the participating entities.

STAGE 3: each selected artist forms an agreement with the participating
entity to fully define the preliminary project or together formulate a new
proposal.

The relationship between the artists and the centres/companies will last
for nine months, with a combination of virtual and personal meetings in
accordance with specific project requirements, from November 2007 to July
2008.

Each artist is required to stay a minimum of 20 working days (not
necessarily consecutive) in the participating entity, on dates to be
jointly determined by both parties at the beginning of the collaboration.

The organisers of DISONANCIAS elaborate and propose work methodologies to
help build and develop exchange, organise work sessions between all the
participants and monitor all the projects that are developed.

The collaboration should result in the elaboration of a prototype, idea or
procedure that may be in any format, based on any type of material, in
compliance with that established in the call and in accordance with the
negotiations carried out between the participating centre/company and the
artist at the beginning of the collaboration.

The resulting research prototype, idea or procedure may later continue to
actual development stage at the end of the collaboration (production,
commercialisation, etc). In the event that the final research result
and/or proposal may have commercial use or exploitation in the future, the
artist agrees to cede all rights of use or exploitation.

This transfer of rights will be expressly contained in the document that
the artist and participating entity will sign at the beginning of the
research period, in accordance with the characteristics of the forecast
process and result of the research activity.

The process shared by the artist and the participating entity will be
documented and compiled in a catalogue. When the results of the
collaboration are considered to be confidential, the documentation
presented will be an authorised approximation by the participating entity
on the concepts that are investigated.

The participating research centres and companies were selected after an
open competition between March and May 2007.

They are:
- applied investigation research centres;
- production or service companies with a high level of innovation in any
economic or social branch of activity;
- or public organisations or those of a social nature that directly manage
innovative programmes.

The participating entities in the 2007/08 edition are: DORLET, EiTB,
FUNDACION IKERTIA, GRUPO SARKIS/LAGUNKETA, IMAR, LANIK, LANTEGI BATUAK,
POLO GARAIA and TECNALIA.

DISONANCIAS favours the participation of artists who are:
- interested in working on the interaction between different social and
cultural systems and projects that favour group work;
- and/or use science or technology as a basis for their work, or who
reflect upon it.

The programme is open to artists working with any type of medium and in
any discipline.

It is essential that the artists accept the fact that they will not be
developing an autonomous creation project, but rather one related to and
based on certain concepts and prerequisites defined by each participating
entity, and that the main objective is research into and/or development of
a prototype, procedure or idea that complies with these conditions.

The artists will be selected after an international call to which they
have to present at least one preliminary project that adapts itself to the
research fields previously defined by the participating companies and
centres.

The selection process is open to artists of any age, nationality or place
of residence, either presented individually or as a group.
