Geeks. Hosts. Sharing.
WHAT IS IT?
The Geek in Residence pilot program connects ‘geeks’ (by which we mean technically confident artists and creatively confident technicians) with arts organisations through a temporary subsidised secondment scheme.
The purpose of this fund is for the Australia Council to enable digital artists and technicians to share their skills and experiences with arts workers. Geeks will be able to share their passion for solving unknown technological problems in creative situations, and arts workers will feel better equipped to work in digital spaces.
Both will ultimately initiate ‘digital innovation’.
You are now welcome to apply to be a Geek, or apply to be a Host. If you have questions, you might want to check here to see if they have already been asked/answered.
UPDATE: The 2009/2010 rounds for the Geek in Residence and Digital Culture Fund have closed. We will announce any further opportunities as soon as they are available. Find out about the successful teams here.
