[] Call for proposals.
low-fi welcomes proposals for 3 commissioned art projects from artists
working with networked technology/internet. A successful proposal could
be
realised either wholly online; or could be partially online and
partially in
some other media or event/performance based. However the internet will
need
to be an integral component. we are aiming to extend artists' current
practice by offering financial assistance to the successful applicants.

[we will not accept proposals which are:
- for home pages of documentation for projects that exist entirely
offline
- for projects which have already been produced]

[] Tech support.
We are not able to offer technical support for commissioned projects.
As
part of their current practice we would expect each applicant to have
the
means/skills to realise their own proposal.

[] Fee.
£1,500 for each commission.

[] Application form.
In order to submit a proposal please download and complete the
application
form. Then email it to us at lowfi at low-fi.org.uk

[] Selection Panel.
The selection panel will be the the low-fi team plus Nick Crowe and
Sarah
Cook.


[] Hosting.
low-fi will host the commissioned projects on the low-fi server unless
as
part of the proposal it is shown that this is inappropriate. We aim to
provide whatever hosting requirements a proposal needs. In the case of
event
based, process based or temporal proposals we expect part of the
proposal to
be about providing online documentation in order to archive the
project.
