Application Information Call for Applications for DR&R with VIDEOCLUB videoclub and Rules and Regs welcomes applications from artists working in digital art and wishing to explore their practice through developing new work. Digital Rules and Regs (DR&R) is an online residency for two artists, lasting for two months: 14 March - 13 May 2011. Deadline for applications: 5pm Friday 17th December 2010. THE PROGRAMME: Participating artists will develop new work over a nine-week period in early 2011. After artists have agreed to participate, rules will be devised in response to their practices and announced at the beginning of the development period (Monday 14th March). Both artists will work to the same set of rules and must create new work in response to these rules. Artists should not apply with a specific or existing project in mind. DR&R will take place online, using the web as a creative platform and tool; artists will be required to have a substantial digital-based practice to take part. The final outcome of the project will be web-based final artworks or works in progress, and will be accessible to the public to experience / see / interact with through a website / online means. DR&R is primarily a development opportunity for making new work, rather than an exhibition or showcase; the primary goal is to explore artistic practice. During the development period artists will be supported by videoclub curator Jamie Wyld. videoclub’s current curatorial strand is based upon notions of Surveillance. videoclub is particularly interested in receiving applications from artists with some experience of developing creative work with surveillance technology. DR&R with videoclub is the pilot online implementation of the Rules and Regs development model. Public access to the artists’ creative processes will be highlighted, with artists asked to keep public blogs and post work-in-progress. http://www.rulesandregs.org/digital11.html
