works or documentation of works made by the inaugural group of  
Art(ists) on the Verge fellows. Installations of all six commissions  
are included. Artists are Aniccha Arts (Pramila Vasudevan, Director),  
Avye Alexandres, Christopher Baker, Kevin Obstatz, Andrea Steudel, and  
Krista Kelley Walsh.

Art(ists) on the Verge (AOV) is a new Northern Lights fellowship  
program that supports Minnesota-based, emerging artists working  
experimentally at the intersection of art and technology, with a focus  
on practices that are social, virtual and/or participatory. The  
program is sponsored by the Jerome Foundation.

In September 2008 a jury consisting of Liz Armstrong (The Minneapolis  
Institute of Art), Steve Dietz (Northern Lights), Ben Heywood (Soap  
Factory), Ana Serrano (Canadian Film Center Media Lab), and Anu Vikram  
(Headlands Residency Program) selected 6 artists for AOV fellowships.  
This exhibition represents the culmination of the fellowship year.

opportunity for a residency and technical support to produce a new

distribute widely.

San Jose, Calif. – July 8, 2009 ―The Banff New Media Institute at  
The Banff Centre, ZER01: The Art and Technology Network, and Sundance  
Institute’s New Frontier initiative today announced the formation of  
The Locative Cinema Commission, a joint venture to stimulate and  
showcase the creation of a locative cinema project. The Commission is  
presently soliciting proposals. The chosen artist or artists will  
realize their proposed project during a residency at The Banff Centre,  
to be completed by July 2010. They will also receive a $4,500 (four- 
thousand five hundred dollar) commissioning fee, related production  
funds, and will present their work at the 2010 01SJ Biennial from  
September 15 - 19, the 2011 edition of New Frontier at the Sundance  
Film Festival from January 20-30, and the 2011 Banff Summer Arts  
Festival.

"ZER01, Sundance Institute and the Banff New Media Institute all have  
proven commitment to supporting emerging forms of creative practice,"  
said Susan Kennard, Director and Executive Producer at The Banff New  
Media Institute. "It is our hope that this collaboration will inspire  
the creation of a dynamic new work that can be exhibited to wide and  
diverse audiences in San Jose, Park City, and Banff and excite the  
public about changing ways to experience art ."

The purpose of this commission is to use ‘locative cinema’ as an  
apparatus through which artists can share their vision using place in  
ways that are both specific and generic, or at least transferable. The  
Commission understands the notion of ‘locative cinema’ as a  
platform-agnostic apparatus through which artists share their vision  
of place. Any variation on how to present an artist's work will be  
considered, from cell phones to the black box of the cinema, from  
mixed reality to street theatre, from GPS to handhelds, from  
distributed to ambient. Proposals will be evaluated on their ability  
to engage people using place as a key element of the experience. The  
chosen project will receive a $4,500 commissioning fee a residency in  
Banff with up to $5,000 in related costs, and technical support from  
the Banff New Media Institute. Reasonable presentation costs,  
including necessary travel, will also be covered. The final project  
will be presented in San Jose, California, Ban
ff,
Canada, and Park City, Utah, and therefore must be realizable in those  
locations.

Proposals will be accepted until August 3, 2009, and must include a  
conceptual proposal describing the relationship of the project to the  
place, a technical proposal outlining the basic parameters of the  
project, and strategies for problem solving during the residency.  
Other requirements include a budget, list of collaborators, links to  
examples of related past work, and resumes of key personnel.
