Digital Culture Fund call announced
The Australia Council’s Digital Culture Fund initiative supports artistic projects exploring liveness, connectivity and participation made possible with new digital platforms.
This is an exciting Australia Council initiative open to artists from all artforms, so please promote to your networks.
We encourage proposals for innovative digital culture projects with:
· Artists and audiences co-creating new forms of live experience
· Experimentation across platforms and to engage diverse communities with creative practice
· Inventive strategies for live collaboration, presentation and distribution of artwork.
The Australia Council invites proposals from artists who are experienced working with digital technology, who may work with visual, sound, performance, literary or interdisciplinary arts, artistic games or transmedia experiences. Applicants can be unknown, emerging or established makers, applying as an individual or a collective.
Your project timeline may include research and/or creative development, but must include a public presentation of new work in 2011. You can apply for up to $40,000 from the Digital Culture Fund. Securing co-funding and establishing partnerships to make your project viable would be an advantage.
