Locative arts in which artists experiment with location aware devices has been a focus at Futuresonic and the Social Technologies Summit for many years, since we helped shape the field in 2003, leading to Mobile Connections (2004) and my own artwork on pervasive surveillance Loca: Set To Discoverable (2006).
Interest in locative arts is still running strong, and a big new opportunity has come along in the shape of the Locative Cinema Commission, offered jointly by Banff New Media Institute, ZER01 and Sundance Institute.
This is a funded residency and technical support to produce a new work to be shown at the 2010 01SJ Biennial, the 2011 Sundance Festival, and the 2011 Banff Summer Arts Festival.
Deadline August 3 – more info & making a submission
