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.

If you are an artist, 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.
