Overview of Eyebeam Fellowships
The application process for Eyebeam's 2007/08 Fellowship program is
currently open. The deadline for applications is August 6, 2007. All
applicants will be informed of their application status by October 1,
2007. The program duration is for 11 months, running from November to
September.
Fellowships will be offered in the R&D OpenLab, the Production Lab
and the Education Lab. The focus of the Fellowships varies depending
on the tools and skills available and the creative objectives and
philosophy of each Lab. Up to five Fellowships will be granted for
2007/08.
For all of the Fellowships we are seeking applications from artists,
hackers, designers, engineers and creative technologists to come to
Eyebeam for a year to undertake new research and develop new work.
The ideal Fellow has experience working with and making innovative
technological art and/or creative technology projects and has a
passion for collaborative development. Fellows will bring this
experience and working approach to their own independent projects,
projects initiated by other Residents or Fellows and projects
conceived collaboratively during the Fellowship period.
Fellows are selected from an open call. International applicants are
welcome to apply although we do not have the resources to provide
travel or accommodation. We are happy to work with selected
applicants, where required, to help them to secure funds to cover
these expenses. International Fellows are responsible for securing
their own visas for the Fellowship period.
Fellows receive a $30,000 stipend and health benefits during their
stay. They are able to take on additional external teaching or
consulting work, but there is an expectation that Fellows will be
working at Eyebeam a minimum of four days a week.
Collaborative partnerships at Eyebeam will be fostered though group
critiques, discussions and projects, within and between the lab
environments and residency programs. Fellows also benefit from
critiques, lectures and workshops by external practitioners chosen
for their relationship to subjects and projects being worked on in
the Labs.
All Fellows are encouraged to share their skills and knowledge with
the larger Eyebeam community by conducting formal and/or informal
workshops with others in the Labs as well as possible workshops open
to the public. There are also opportunities to develop work for
performance, events, seminars, exhibition or other public programming
in the Eyebeam galleries (and beyond) during the term of the fellowship.
Core to our principle at Eyebeam is the brokering of relationships
between artists, hackers, coders, engineers and other creative
technologists and the contexts we provide. The intention is to foster
and facilitate relationships whereby technologists and artists can
come together to germinate and hothouse their ideas, develop new
processes and create new works through a period of immersion in a
social context which is rich in technology, expertise and ideas.
Research Themes
We also support research groups to bring together creative
practitioners working at Eyebeam as well as expert external
participants. New research leads to possible public outcomes
including seminars, public discussion and exhibition.
Research themes for 2007/08 include (though will not be limited to):
* Energy, Technology and Sustainability
* Urban research, urban interventions and media in public space
Artists and creative technologists interested in these research areas
are particularly encouraged to apply for 2007/08 Fellowships.
Application Requirements
Applications received after the deadline of August 6, 2007, will not
be accepted. All applications and work samples must be submitted
through the online form. No exceptions will be made. You can create a
user/password during the application process and log back into the
server to update your application before the final deadline.
Complete applications must include the following information:
* Contact Information
* Resume or CV (rtf or pdf doc)
* Work samples in the form of URLs or uploaded media
* Include a project description with your work sample that explains
your contribution to the piece, how it was meant to be viewed and how
it relates to your proposed project(s).
* Concise responses to all application questions
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Please read the guidelines for each of the Fellowships carefully.
Each working environment has different sets of tools and different
mentors/trainers for these tools, so applicants should consider which
environment will best suit their own needs and experience. However,
all artists, technologists and residents have access to resources
across all three labs and programs.
If you have any questions, please email fellowshipinfo@eyebeam.org or visit the online application page @ http://www.eyebeam.org/production/onlineapp/

The Croquet Project is an international effort to promote the continued development of Croquet, a new open source software platform for creating deeply collaborative multi-user online applications. It features a network architecture that supports communication, collaboration, resource sharing, and synchronous computation among multiple users. Using the downloadable Croquet SDK, software developers can benefit from a flexible enough framework that virtually any user interface concept could quickly and easily be prototyped and deployed to create powerful and highly collaborative multi-user 2D and 3D applications and simulations. ]]>

Croquet is a combination of computer software and network architecture that supports deep collaboration and resource sharing among multiple users within the context of a large-scale distributed information system. Along with providing a flexible enough framework that virtually any user interface concept could quickly and easily be prototyped and deployed, Croquet can be used to deliver compelling 3D collaborative visualizations and simulations.
Croquet incorporates replication of computation (both objects and activity), and the idea of active shared subspaces in its basic interpreter model. More traditional distributed systems replicate data, but try very hard not to replicate computation. But, it is often easier and more efficient to send the computation to the data, rather than the other way round. Consequently, Croquet is defined so that replication of computations is just as easy as replication of data.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies is a biannually published, refereed journal. The journal covers the studies of music sciences, together with the studies of music and sound in the disciplines of humanities, social sciences, cognitive sciences, medical and engineering sciences. Our aim is to establish a wide range of interdisciplinary platform for the scholars studying on music and sound.
The journal accepts submissions of original studies from any academic discipline studying on music and sound such as: ethnomusicology, popular music studies, history of music, music theory, acoustics, anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, communication sciences, linguistics, cognitive sciences, computational sciences, artificial intelligence, biology, neurology and physiology.
Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies is published with a limited number of printed versions, only for authors and specified libraries. Every issue is mainly published on the journal's free access public web site. So getting use of the opportunities of www, we intend to publish samples of audio and video materials related with the accepted papers on the journal's web site.

Radical Musicology is a peer-reviewed online journal produced in the International Centre for Music Studies at Newcastle University (UK). It was established to provide a forum for progressive thinking across the whole field of musical studies, and encourages work that draws on any and all relevant discipinary and interdisciplinary prespectives.
The journal espouses no particular theoretical line, ideology or programme. However, responding to a perception that the projects going under the names of ‘new’ and ‘critical’ musicology have been succeeded by a certain disciplinary retrenchment or even counter-reaction, we aim to encourage work which explicitly or implicitly interrogates existing paradigms, and which acknowledges that musicological work will always have a political dimension. The politics we favour might be summarised as a desire to democratise the field of the permissible.
Radical Musicology is published in annual volumes, with new content added continuously when available. As well as major academic articles, it includes essay-reviews of particularly significant books, recordings and concerts, and, in the interests of furthering dialogue, also welcomes thoughtful responses to articles.
Please email enquiries@radical-musicology.org.uk for further details or visit http://www.radical-musicology.org.uk/notes.htm for submission guidelines.

]]>Almost 1,000 copies of each CD-Gazette of The IDEA are distributed free to identified e-artists and associated individuals & organizations all over the world through the six month period following individual publication (leftovers are available for purchase after this).
The 7 gazettes issued so far are also now hosted online by the e-music pioneer & composer (and Special Advisor to The AeA) Laurie Spiegel, at http://retiary.org/idea
The IDEA series of CD-gazettes and the overall archive of materials that the project has gathered since 1999 are now reckoned by several people in the know to be "one of the most significant historical archives of the worldwide digital arts movement available anywhere in the early twenty-first century."
Originally a project of the President of The AeA in his private capacity, The IDEA and it's archives are mentored and stored by The AeA since January 2005.
]]>The PixelPress online magazine features projects that use a variety of linear and non-linear strategies, attempting to articulate visions of human possibility even while confirming human frailty. For them, the digital revolution is a revolution in consciousness, not in commerce.
PixelPress works with organizations such as Crimes of War, Human Rights Watch, World Health Organization and UNICEF to create Web sites that deal directly with contemporary issues in complex and innovative ways that circumvent media sensationalism and simplification. They also try to factor in ways that the viewer can help remedy social problems, rather than remain a spectator. Recently we completed a site focusing on how to end polio worldwide; another trying to aid an orphanage in Rwanda; one trying to reclaim the Brazilian forest; and a site featuring the images of photographers from the Vietnam War. And they also create books with photographers such as Machiel Botman, Kent Klich and Sebastião Salgado on social themes, as well as traveling exhibitions using both digital and conventional processes.
]]>Studio XX is committed to providing digital technology training and instruction to women at all levels of experience, both artists and non-artists. It is the Studio's goal that women not only use these technologies, but are a defining presence in cyberspace.

]]>The main impetus of the Coalition is to see that each film/video is screened in its original format/medium. As each work will be part of a screening we request that works be of a reasonable length, i.e around 20 mins or less.
The strength of any coalition is its generosity of spirit, the sharing of the workload and the creative input by each coalition member, not taking for granted that someone else would do this or that.
The website has useful links, news and a link to the Sydney & Albury Wodonga chapter.
