    The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Now Accepting
Applications for its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its
Artists in Residence Programs



Troy, NY - The
Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) is dedicated to
advancing research and artistic production at the intersection of
technology, media and the time-based arts (media arts, video, music,
dance, theater, etc.).



To that end, EMPAC is pleased to announce that it is accepting
applications for both its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its
Artists in Residence programs. There are no deadlines for applications,
which will be accepted and reviewed throughout the year.



The Artists in Residence program is available to individuals, groups,
ensembles or collectives to develop new approaches and new works in the
time-based arts.



The intent of the program is to support work that cannot be created or
realized elsewhere. As EMPAC is part of a technological research
university and carries the word "experimental" in its name, goals may
turn out to be unobtainable or dead ends, be they artistic or
technical. Residencies may be used to take risks and experiment with
new ideas, which are not necessarily attached to specific performances or
a finished work.



Along with a state-of-the art facility, EMPAC offers residents the
logistical support of experts in audio, video and stage technologies,
as well as critical discourse with an interdisciplinary curatorial team.



Residencies may be for the entire duration of a project or for any
phase of development. There is no preset limit on the length of time or
frequency of residencies during the course of a project. Prospective
artists may apply for limited travel and accommodation support, but
also are encouraged to come with their own means of support.



The Scholars and Researchers in Residence Program
is available to visiting scholars and researchers whose research is
directed at the intersection of physical, human-scale environments and
the technological domain.



EMPAC aims to create an environment of fertile creation,
cross-pollination, and intellectual stimulation. Visiting scholars and
researchers will participate in the formation of an intellectual
community in scientific and engineering disciplines that may also
engage perceptual and artistic knowledge and practice.



EMPAC will also be a platform for research activities in areas such as
augmented reality, virtual reality, scientific visualization,
audification, haptics, human/machine interfaces and interaction,
auralization, and multi-modal modeling in large-scale, fully
media-integrated environments.



Visiting scholars and researchers in residence are encouraged to apply
for longer stays or affiliations that span over several residency
periods. Prospective visitors may apply for limited travel and
accommodation support, but also should expect to come with their own
research funds.
This program is an ideal match for scholars on sabbatical and for
researchers with specific requirements that EMPAC can match.
Residencies may also be granted to teams working on a joint project or
developing new approaches, especially if they involve Rensselaer
faculty and students.
