创意城市科希策媒体艺术驻留招募

　　创意城市网络媒体艺术之都科希策邀请媒体艺术家参加2019年秋季于科希策举行的为期2个月的驻留。驻留由非盈利组织科希策创意产业与科希策艺术家驻留共同主办，其中科希策创意产业也是科希策创意城市网络核心对接人。

　　一、科希策：联合国教科文组织创意城市网络媒体艺术之都

　　这里没有大牌，没有疯狂的消费，也不是10大最佳旅行地，甚至科希策是在近十年才改变了自己的城市定位，成为一个开放包容的城市，展现自己帅气生动的一面。但在100年前，科希策还没有一丁点今天创意中心的迹象。

　　科希策是斯洛伐克第二大的城市，良好的城市基础许诺了这座城市一片光明的未来。2013年成为欧洲文化之都让科希策重新审视和建设城市的文化基础设施，向周边郊区普及文化理念并且新建精美的展示展览空间。形形色色的场所，新兴的画廊都在展示着年轻的艺术作品，市民积极参与发起倡议，世界级的音乐会在这里奏响，超过15个文化中心汇聚有趣的人们在此谈天说地。

　　科希策共有25万常住人口，同时还有成千上万周边居民每日通勤到科希策为这座城市添一份活力。科希策已不再是过去的钢铁之都，信息通信技术产业的发达和创意产业的飞速发展使科希策正在逐渐转型为一个文化枢纽。虽然我们无法得知25万人口每个人都在做什么，但有一点可以肯定，科希策的文化创意虽称不上蔚为壮观，但根基深厚、激情澎湃。

　　2017年科希策加入联合国教科文组织创意城市网络，成为媒体艺术之都，开始在该垂直领域深耕。如果您是艺术家，想来科希策，请一定要在秋天来。一年的最后几个月对于科希策来说是媒体艺术和数字文化的最佳展示时期。先是白夜节，然后是漫步月球节，最后是艺术与科技节。每个活动都与媒体艺术之都息息相关。

　　二、科希策创意产业与科希策艺术家驻留

　　科希策创意产业非盈利组织是联合国教科文组织创意城市网络科希策媒体艺术之都的核心对接人，该组织旨在通过媒体艺术的跨领域研究和创新语言激励新的一代。科希策创意产业从2013欧洲文化之都项目对接开始，给城市的转型带来积极的影响。该组织的一个核心项目就是科希策艺术家驻留。驻留从2011年启动，为发展国际活动和合作伙伴网络奠定了稳定的基础。2016年科希策艺术家驻留成为一个独立协会。

　　科希策艺术家驻留为世界各地从事各种艺术活动的艺术家提供驻留机会。该协会致力于促进斯洛伐克与其他国家的艺术家和艺术机构开展国际合作。驻留艺术家可以在科希策充满创造力的文化环境中开展创作，与当地的艺术元素结合，向斯洛伐克及整个欧洲地区展示自己的艺术作品。

　　三、2019媒体艺术驻留项目

　　今年的驻留项目希望从各媒体艺术城市中选出一名媒体艺术家，在科希策开展艺术创作。艺术家可以在此开展全新的创作，也可以从新的视角对未完成的作品进行继续深入的创作。驻留仅限出生、生活或工作在教科文组织创意城市网络成员城市的艺术家报名。

　　作为驻留成果，我们将为艺术家举行一个公共的艺术成果展示。这个成果展示也是科希策艺术与科技节的议程之一。艺术与科技节是关于媒体艺术、科技与数字文化的节庆活动。

　　1. 主题：艺术与科技语境中的语言

　　崭新的数字时代正在改变语言和交流的习惯。科技给人们带来了新的交流互动方式，包括电子邮件、社交媒体、即时信息等，这些都是基于机器语言。

　　科技同样影响着艺术。编程语言对当代艺术创作也产生了影响。许多艺术家在他们的艺术创作中融入了代码。代码成为了数字艺术家表达艺术的介质或手段。

　　在驻留期间，我们鼓励艺术家在艺术与科技的语境中探索语言。

　　艺术家可以带着这些疑问去探索：

　　- 电脑语言怎样建立代码与艺术之间的关联?

　　- 电脑语言怎样实现艺术家与程序员之间的交流?

　　- 艺术表达与代码是两种不同的语言，它们怎样在媒体艺术领域融合?

　　驻留申请截止时间：2019年4月22日。

　　2. 驻留日程

　　2019年3月20日：启动驻留招募

　　2019年4月22日：驻留申请截止

　　2019年夏季：科希策访学(自愿参加)

　　2019年9月23日-11月22日(60天)：驻留项目

　　3. 驻留支持

　　- 共计2000欧元的奖学金

　　- 往返交通

　　- 科希策食宿

　　- 科希策艺术家驻留创作空间

　　- 技术创作预算(最高5000欧元)

　　- 参与科希策艺术与生活，并且在科希策推广作品的机会

　　请于2019年4月22日24：00(欧洲中部夏令时间)前将申请表及附件发送至kosice@cityofmediaarts.sk。

　　驻留项目由斯洛伐克艺术委员会提供财政支持。

Open Call for Media Art Residency in Creative City Košice

 

20. Mar 2019 Anna Mária Trávničková Open Call

 

Deadline: 22 April 2019

 

Košice – the Creative City of Media Arts offers media artists a two-month stay in Košice in autumn 2019. The residency is organized by the NGO Creative Industry Košice – a focal point of UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts, and K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence.

 

About Košice – UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts

 

Never a place of the biggest names, insane cashflows or Top 10 Lonely Planet’s places to visit. Some say it’s just the last ten years since Košice changed its mindset, became open to different ideas and started to define itself as rather cool and vivid. A hundred years ago, it was a mere speck of a creative center compared to what defines the city today.

 

Slovakia’s second city stands firm on its foundation for a bright future. The European Capital of Culture 2013 literally redesigned the cultural infrastructure of the town, spread culture to the suburban areas and formed exquisite places for the exhibition. Diverse bottom-to-up and up-to-bottom locations, emerging galleries displaying young art, active citizenship initiatives, world concerts and over 15 cultural centers piled with interesting people and nutritious talks.

 

Size-wise, 250.000 thousands of inhabitants are topped by several thousands of those commuting from the rural areas, feeding the city’s buzz. Gone are the days of being known as a steel city. Now with a booming ICT industry and a growing creative sector, Košice has been slowly transforming into a cauldron of culture. Although we wouldn’t dare to guess what one-quarter of a million people here do, one thing we know for sure. The creative and cultural scene here is small but pretty solid and zealous.

 

In 2017, Košice joined the prestigious UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of Media Arts to develop this niche industry on the local level. If you are an artist flirting with an idea to come to Košice – do come in autumn. Last months of the year tend to be most generous for the media arts and digital culture showcase. Starting with White Night, followed by the festivals Moon Ride, Art & Tech Days and DAAVS. All have much to offer for the eligible distinction of the Creative City of Media Arts.

 

About CIKE & K.A.I.R.

 

The NGO Creative Industry Košice (CIKE) is a focal point of UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts, which aims to inspire new generations through the interdisciplinary and innovative language of media arts. The organization started as a daring project Interface – European Capital of Culture 2013 and brought a major transformation of the city. One of its key projects was K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence, which started in 2011 and got a stable ground to develop the international activities and network of partners. In 2016 K.A.I.R. became an independent association.

 

K.A.I.R. is international Artist-in-Residence programme for the artists from all over the world and out of all artistic disciplines and expressions. It is strongly focused on international cooperations between the Slovak and foreign artists and art organizations. Artists have the possibility to work in the inspiring environment of Košice‘s singular cultural surrounding to realize art projects, collaborate with the agile local art scene and present themselves to the local and European public.

 

Media Arts Residency 2019

 

This specific residency seeks to create space for a media artist from one of the UNESCO Creative Cities to develop his/her own artistic project. The residency is an opportunity to create a new project or to continue work on something in development by shifting its perspective.

 

The Open call is limited to the artists who are either born, live or work in any of UNESCO Creative City.

 

By the end of the residency program, the artist will provide a public exhibition and a final presentation of the work created over the 60-day residency period. The exhibition and presentation will be a part of the international festival of media arts, technology, and digital culture Art & Tech Days.

 

Topic: Language in the context of arts and technology

 

The new digital era is changing the use of language and communication. Technologies brought new ways in which humans interact, whether it is through e-mail, social media or instant messaging and these are based on machine languages.

 

Technology has also influenced art, and programming languages have made an impact on the creation of contemporary art. Many artists incorporated code into their practice. A code is a medium or the „canvas and paint“ of digital artists.

 

During the residency, the artist should explore the language in the context of art and technology.

 

An artist can search for answers to questions:

 

– How computer language establishes the connection between code and art?

 

– How it enables artists and coders to communicate?

 

– Aesthetic/artistic language and code are two kinds of language. How they can interact in the media arts?

 

The deadline to apply for the residency is 22 April 2019.
