Banff New Media Institute – Co-production Residency: Liminal Screen
Program Dates: February 26 – March 29, 2009
Application Deadline: November 24, 2008
Faculty: Nina Czegledy, Willy LeMaitre, and Kate Rich
The Liminal Screen Co-production Residency provides a unique take on video-based residency programs by engaging artists, developers, and researchers in a collective critical inquiry into video as a medium. This residency will focus its inquiry on the transitions between screen and life, as the screen reinforces its central position as a ubiquitous communications portal, data visualization surface and frame on an ever more meditated world.
Practitioners from all walks of screen-based practice are encouraged to apply to the program. We are particularly interested in practice that extends its investigation of the screen out into other media or networks (biological, philosophical, social and other systems) and explores the spaces and relationships between screen, mind and hard reality.
