***Three Researchers in Residence at the Research and Documentation Centre
(CR+D) in 2004***
 
Following the call for research submissions in the context of its Grant
Program for Researchers in Residence, the Foundation will receive three
researchers: two are from Montreal, Mrs Jennifer Gabrys, a doctoral
candidate in Communication Studies at McGill University, and Mrs Viva Paci,
a doctoral candidate in Literary and Film Studies at the Université de
Montréal; the third researcher is Dr Frances Dyson, an associate professor
of Technocultural Studies, in the division of Humanities, Arts and Cultural
Studies of the University of California at Davis.
 
Let us recall that this program is open to historians, curators, critics,
independent researchers, artists and scientists in various fields, including
computer science and related areas of social science. The research must be
conducted at the Foundation and focus on one of the Foundation's
documentation collections or archives. However, a research project may
include activities beyond the CR+D, such as studio, laboratory or field
work, and draw on resources outside the Foundation. One of the goals of the
Program for Researchers in Residence is to promote the advancement of
knowledge regarding the impact of new digital technologies on humans and
society. To achieve this the grant holders will be invited to publish the
results of their research on our website, or to make certain documents
available on-line after having interpreted and placed them in context. To
find out more about the three researchers and their projects:

***REMINDER - Moratorium on two of the Foundation's programs***
 
A reminder that the Foundation is placing a moratorium in 2004 on its two
main programs: the Research Grants for Individual Artists or Scientists and
the Strategic Grants for Organizations. This moratorium will allow the
Foundation to undertake an in depth study of the impact of its support and
its activities in the field on an international scale, so as to develop a
plan of action that will better respond to the needs of its diverse
clientele in the years to come. Please take note that this measure will not
affect the Grant Program for Researchers in Residence. More:

About the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology 
 
The Daniel Langlois Foundation's purpose is to further artistic and
scientific knowledge by fostering the meeting of art and science in the
field of technologies. The Foundation seeks to nurture a critical awareness
of technology's implications for human beings and their natural and cultural
environments, and to promote the exploration of aesthetics suited to
evolving human environments. The Centre for Research and Documentation
(CR+D) seeks to document history, artworks and practices associated with
electronic and digital media arts and to make this information available to
researchers in an innovative manner through data communications.
