GRANT PROGRAM FOR RESEARCHERS IN RESIDENCE:

AUGUST 2003 DEADLINE

As part of its international competition open to historians, conservators,
critics, independent scholars, artists and scientists, the Daniel Langlois
Foundation is offering the chance for two researchers to work at the Centre
for Research and Documentation (CR+D) in Montreal, specifically in its
documentary and archival collections. Research projects must be directly
related to one of the Foundation's archival collections. A description of
the collections is available at:

RADICAL SOFTWARE

In order to shed light on the history of artistic practices using electronic
and digital technologies, the Foundation, in partnership with project leader
Mr. Davidson Gigliotti, has digitized and processed the entire contents of
the legendary independent magazine RADICAL SOFTWARE. Notably, the Foundation
indexed the magazine and created search tools to facilitate access to the
publication's extraordinarily rich material. RADICAL SOFTWARE, published by
the Raindance Corporation, produced eleven issues between 1970 and 1974.
During that short span, the magazine was witness to the birth of the video
movement and to the emergence of intellectual currents underpinning the
intersection of video, cybernetics, computing, social activism,
counterculture and art. Our online version of RADICAL SOFTWARE includes a
historical overview by Davidson Gigliotti and an introduction by David A.
Ross.

OTHER PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY THE FOUNDATION

Among the projects supported in previous years that are now producing
results, the Foundation is pleased to highlight the following three:

- GHANA'S HIGHLIFE MUSIC: A DIGITAL REPERTOIRE OF RECORDINGS AND POP ART

Ghana's Gramophone Records Museum and Research Centre opened in 1994. Its
mission is to provide ready access to the audio and visual documents in its

- LES USAGES DES NOUVELLES TECHNOLOGIES DE L'INFORMATION ET DE LA
COMMUNICATION (NTIC) DANS LE DOMAINE DES ETUDES INTERMEDIATIQUES

After two years of collaborative work, *Les usages des nouvelles
technologies de l'information et de la communication (NTIC) dans le domaine
des études intermédiatiques* [The uses of new information and communication
technologies in intermedia studies] is now online. This research project was
led by the Collectif étudiant du Centre de recherche sur l'intermédialité
(CECRI) at the University of Montreal.

- KER THIOSSANE, DAKAR

In 2001, the Daniel Langlois Foundation awarded a grant in the The Program
for Organizations from Emerging Regions to the Ker Thiossane project.
Located close to downtown Dakar in a neighbourhood called Sicap Liberté II,
this new space is intended to be a place of initiation and discovery of new
media, with the aim of incorporating them into other forms of artistic
creation (music, dance, theatre, visual arts).
