> About the Residency
>
> Eyebeam residencies support the creative research, production and  
> presentation of initiatives querying art, technology and culture.  
> The residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic  
> investigation, daring research or production of visionary,  
> experimental applications and projects. Past initiatives have ranged  
> from live animation, sound and physical computing works to technical  
> prototypes, installations and tactical media events. Check out what  
> our current and past residents have been doing here:  http://eyebeam.org/people-residents/residents 
> .
>
> The ideal resident will both contribute to and benefit from the  
> collective environment at Eyebeam, and will embrace the spirit of  
> openness shared across the organization: open source, open content  
> and open distribution.
>
> To promote collaboration and the sharing of diverse skill sets,  
> Eyebeam has established and continues to encourage the formation of  
> research groups that bring together creative practitioners working  
> at Eyebeam as well as expert external participants.
>
> New research often leads to public outcomes including seminars,  
> workshops and exhibition. Research groups currently active at  
> Eyebeam include:
>
> • Sustainability
> • Urban Research
> • Middle Eastern Research
> • Open Cultures
>
> Artists and creative technologists interested in these research  
> areas are particularly encouraged to apply for 2009 residencies, but  
> we are also open to accepting ideas for emerging areas of research.
>
> Eyebeam is also seeking proposals from artists whose practices:
> a) actively engage different community groups, especially youth;
> b) focus on open source/culture ideologies, including intellectual  
> property, licensing issues and law; and/or
> c) investigate sustainable models of food production and consumption  
> and the impact of those models on society.
>
> Residents are expected to participate in public events including  
> workshops, demonstrations of research in progress, panel  
> discussions, and online releases, in addition to regularly scheduled  
> open studio events.
>
> The program term is from the beginning of August to the end of  
> January. Residents will be selected from an open call, based on the  
> quality of the work or research being proposed, the availability of  
> the necessary tools and skills to support the work, and in  
> consideration of the overarching research themes and activities of  
> the organization.
>
> Eyebeam is committed to building a diverse creative environment. We  
> recognize diversity as encompassing personal style, age, race,  
> gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language,  
> physical ability, religion, family, citizenship status,

> consequently encourage applications from the broadest possible range  
> of artists and creative technologists to all of our programs.
