WEB ART COMMISSION
DA2 - the digital imagination
DA2 (formerly Imag@nation) is calling for proposals for an artist(s) to
develop a web project, TRACES, in partnership with the University of the
West of England and in association with Origins. This is a community art
project made up of three key elements:
… the creation of a website based on an artist's experience or view
of personal and cultural identity, exploring issues of hybridity and
migration
… the linking of the website to an archive of work produced through
the Origins publishing project and other work already in existence
… the further development of the website by youth and community
groups through facilitated web workshops
TRACES is part of a thematic series that looks at how we can creatively
re-explore histories through digital media. It is anticipated that the
project will continue thematically over the next three years with other
artists
and communities, as part of the DA2 programme of creative digital projects
in the South West.
APPLICATIONS
Deadline for applications: 9.00am Thursday 17 September 1998
Completion of website: 31 December 1998
Workshops to run: late 1998 / early 1999
Artist / facilitator fee: £4,000
To apply, write a statement of no more than 500 words, giving an outline of
your proposal and an explanation of why your understanding of the issues
would make you a suitable candidate. Applicants need not be based in the
South West, but we expect proposals to have relevance to the region. Please
forward applications to Rachel Drummond-Hay, Project Co-ordinator at DA2.
