Eyebeam Residencies
Summer / Fall 2009

You've got big ideas. You could use a little time and money, not to  
mention support and inspiration, to create a visionary project. Apply  
now for Eyebeam's Summer/Fall 2009 Residency cycle. Residents are  
granted a $5,000 stipend and 24/7 access to Eyebeam's state of the  
art digital design and fabrication studios at their Chelsea facility.


About the Residency

Eyebeam residencies support the creative research, production and  
presentation of initiatives querying art, technology and culture. The  
residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic  
investigation, daring research or production of visionary,  
experimental applications and projects. Past initiatives have ranged  
from live animation, sound and physical computing works to technical  
prototypes, installations and tactical media events. Check out what  
our current and past residents have been doing here:  http:// 
eyebeam.org/people-residents/residents.

The ideal resident will both contribute to and benefit from the  
collective environment at Eyebeam, and will embrace the spirit of  
openness shared across the organization: open source, open content  
and open distribution.

To promote collaboration and the sharing of diverse skill sets,  
Eyebeam has established and continues to encourage the formation of  
research groups that bring together creative practitioners working at  
Eyebeam as well as expert external participants.

New research often leads to public outcomes including seminars,  
workshops and exhibition. Research groups currently active at Eyebeam  
include:

	•	Sustainability
	•	Urban Research
	•	Middle Eastern Research
	•	Open Cultures

Artists and creative technologists interested in these research areas  
are particularly encouraged to apply for 2009 residencies, but we are  
also open to accepting ideas for emerging areas of research.

Eyebeam is also seeking proposals from artists whose practices:
a) actively engage different community groups, especially youth;
b) focus on open source/culture ideologies, including intellectual  
property, licensing issues and law; and/or
c) investigate sustainable models of food production and consumption  
and the impact of those models on society.

Residents are expected to participate in public events including  
workshops, demonstrations of research in progress, panel discussions,  
and online releases, in addition to regularly scheduled open studio  
events.

The program term is from the beginning of August to the end of  
January. Residents will be selected from an open call, based on the  
quality of the work or research being proposed, the availability of  
the necessary tools and skills to support the work, and in  
consideration of the overarching research themes and activities of  
the organization.

Eyebeam is committed to building a diverse creative environment. We  
recognize diversity as encompassing personal style, age, race,  
gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language,  
physical ability, religion, family, citizenship status, socioeconomic  
circumstances, education and life experiences. We consequently  
encourage applications from the broadest possible range of artists  
and creative technologists to all of our programs.

To Apply

Applications are accepted via our online application system. We will  
be hosting a “How To Apply” Forum, in New York City, on April 16 at 7  
PM featuring past Eyebeam Resident and recent Residency curatorial  
panelist Robert Ransick (Bennington College, Vermont) and current  
senior fellow Steve Lambert (Parsons/The New School and Hunter College).
