Artists in Residence program launched for iSummit '07

At this year's Summit, iCommons will be launching a new and improved 
Artist in Residence program, based on the success of last year's 
undertakings by Nathaniel Stern, the Artist in Residence at the iSummit 
2006 <http://www.icommons.org/isummit/page.php?pID=18>. This year's 
program will be bigger and better – we'll be expanding the program to 
include more artists, more collaboration and a dual exhibition – in a 
physical space at the art workshop, Lazareti and in a virtual gallery in 
Second Life. 

Essential to the success of the program is, believe it our not – you. We 
would like you to suggest an artist from your country, whom we will 
consider when awarding the residency. Or even better, if you are an 
artists, don't be shy, add your name too. All you need to do is go to 
http://wiki.icommons.org/index.php/Artists_in_Residence and add an 
artist's name.

Based on the suggestions from the community, we'll be picking two 
artists from the Croatian region and three international artists to 
participate in the residency. We're looking for artists who produce both 
in the physical and digital world; individuals who engage with copyright 
in some way - either by using Creative Commons licenced content as their 
inspiration, or by licencing their work under CC; or artists who simply 
challenge the boundaries of copyright law.

During the residency, the artists will be exploring different themes 
around what it means to be an artist creating in a digital world. The 
following topics will be investigated during the residency, and a 
workshop will be run by the artists at the Summit, based on the 
following themes:
•    Different working modes: how do artists work with open content in 
their medium?
•    Different presentation methods: what is the archival value of art 
made available online?
•    Sustainability models: how do artists embrace 'copyleft' but still 
manage to pay the rent?

Nathaniel Stern will be coordinating the artists in their conceptual 
journey. The residency will officially start two to three weeks before 
the Summit, as a 'virtual' residency over e-mail or chat, when all the 
artists will start conceptualising and discussing these themes. The 
artists will arrive in Dubrovnik one week before the start of the 
Summit, so as to begin the hands-on work of creating their masterpieces.

The deadline for suggestions on potential participants for the Artists 
in Residence program is Monday 12 February.
