Call for Artists, Cultural Workers and Creatives: Digital Economies Lab at Artengine

October 03, 2019 by Akin Collective in Call for Submissions

Artistic Prosperity for the Digital Future!

Artengine is looking for applications from artists, creators, designers and cultural workers to join a year-long Digital Economies Lab (DEL) at Artengine.

The DEL explores the state of work, remuneration and prosperity in art and culture in the 21st century. We are looking for a broad range of cultural perspectives and creative practices to assemble at the lab. We need people with a passionate position on art and culture’s place in the digital revolution, who are open to new ideas, who are generators of new perspectives, who are technically literate and/or technically critical!

Together, we will explore this key question:
How can we make a viable and sustainable space for artists, creatives and culture in general, in the digital context of Canada and the world?

What will the DEL do?
Selected members will work collaboratively to develop a series of early-stage prototypes to be circulated around the web during and beyond the DEL. The lab will meet in Ottawa for three key collaborative sessions, as well as work remotely throughout the year, while prototypes and outputs are circulated in partnership with HOLO Magazine.

Participants will receive

  • DEL Participants will receive a $5,000CN fee

  • Workshop and mentorship by range of experts

  • Access to Artengine facilities and production equipment for the duration of the program

  • Hotel, accommodation and per diem (for those selected from outside the Ottawa-Gatineau region)

Artengine is an equal opportunity organization. We do not discriminate based on gender, religion, race, mental disability, sexual orientation, age, or any other status. All applicants are considered based on their qualifications and merits. At Artengine, we inspire an environment of mutual respect and we believe diversity and inclusion are crucial to our success.

Application deadline is October 10, 2019
