INTERNATIONAL SHARED RESIDENCY - A COLLABORATION BETWEEN EYEBEAM (US) 
AND BALTAN LABORATORIES (NL)

For artists, shared residencies offer a context that's more than simply 
time and space to work. By residing at each partner organization, time 
and space is multiplied across locations and each location brings its 
own culture to the work. In this case, the collaborative potential 
betweenBaltan Laboratories <http://www.baltanlaboratories.org/> in 
Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New 
York City is exponentially increased -- both organizations are deeply 
committed to supporting the process of artistic creation from early 
stages through to the end project. This collaborative residency is 
organized around the theme of "Cultural Economies" with the goal of 
instigating new work that critically examines the ability of artists and 
artistic production to maintain large cultural relevance in an age of 
increasingly limited resources.

The timeline for this collaborative residency is as follows:
Sept. 17 - Nov. 18, in residence at Eyebeam (housing not provided);
Nov. 19 - Dec. 21, in residence at Baltan Laboratories, in collaboration 
with the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (NL) (housing provided);
Dec. 14 - 15, presentation of working prototype at an international 
symposium around collecting and presenting digitally born art in the 
museum, a collaboration between Baltan Laboratories and the Van Abbemuseum;
Dec. 22 - Feb. 18, 2013, in residence at Eyebeam with presentation of 
final work in exhibition.

The selected artist(s) will receive paid transportation, a production 
budget, and a modest fee. Please note, this is a different program than 
standard Eyebeam residency so stipend and budget differs.

For this residency focus area, the following must be agreeable to the 
selected artist:
- The artist must be willing to openly and thoroughly document the 
artistic process.
- The work should be created using open source software;
- The artist should have experience working in collaborative settings 
with people from different disciplines.

Please note: only artists and technologists who can commit to the 
working timeline should apply. Also, please include in the application 
(under the "Additional Info. section") the motivation for why you would 
like to work in the context of this particular residency.
