> Shooting live Artists commissions - connecting leading contemporary art
> with new media distribution.
> 
> Shooting live arts is an initiative which connects audacious contemporary
> art with new media production and distribution bringing new forms of
> creativity to wider audiences. Shooting Live Artists is a new strategic
> initiative by The Arts Council of England, BBC, Yorkshire Media Production
> Agency's Studio of the North and b.tv
> 
> Shooting live artists offers live artists, digital media artists and media
> producers £5,000 and £10,000 commissions to explore the creative
> possibilities of converging and diverging media platforms. Productions can
> take a variety of forms such as; single screen work, work destined to be
> displayed as an installation, distributed on an interactive platform, or
> disseminated via networked media. The work should integrate elements of
> net
> distribution and could exploit digital video and audio, symbiotic
> relationships between the body and technology, intelligent environments,
> mobile devices, web streaming, games cultures, emergent software, ambient
> or viral marketing.
> 
> The resulting Shooting live artists commissions will be premiered
> (completed or as work in progress) at this year's b.tv festival b.tv
> 2001is
> at the National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield on November the
> 30th and December 1st. The online elements of the work will feature
> exclusively on the BBC Arts website from December 2001. This will include
> artists' week to week action diaries and the potential for web users to
> participate as the works progress.
